Seacraft GO! vs. Suex VR Voyager

[Mario007]

I’ve tried a bunch of scooter now. Suex’s instant response, setting the speed on the knob and the trigger lock and jump functionality are big wins to me.

I really tried to like the seacraft ghost. But every time you stopped for anything length time it was this whole hassle to get going. Turn it on, unlock it, pick a gear and finally get going.

Vs with the suex twist power knob on and press trigger. It created a lot of separation with the team as people were not all ready at the same time. I’m sure it’s something you get use to when using them a lot, but for me the interface and user experience was a no go.

With the new VR series you can adjust the speed while you have running with trigger lock mode.

That sounds remarkably like a problem that was described to me by someone who had owned several Seacraft Future DPVs - and said to have this problem with at least one of his Futures.

He described getting silt in there while cave diving.

I am also curious to hear more about it.

That's a big concern..
Hope they can solve it somehow.
Do you know if sediment is a problem with conventional shafts and props? I haven’t got much experience at all with dpvs.
Thank you

You could always do that on the suex no? all the ones I've rode you just have to reach forward and twist the knob, the only thing I'm not sure about is if the new VR is infinitely adjustable, like the older suexs are. Infinite speed adjustment is really nice for team diving because a lot of times people will go slightly different speeds on the same "gear" and it can create a bit of a slinky effect as someone as the slower one has to jump to catch up from time to time.

It's most noticeable when you're formation flying side-by-side.

The magnetic drive coupling on the Genesis seems entirely unaffected by silt or sand, and you can adjust speed without taking your hand off the handle.

I don't if it's infinitely speed, what I can tell you is that there are not clicks when you adjust the speed. It's like the bonex knob
