[stuartv]

Could someone please post the specifications of the Seacraft Go for comparison with others DPVs, to include: dimensions, weight, battery duration at cruise (45m/min), charge time, #speeds, thrust, cost…

I have those in another post, here: Seacraft GO! vs. Suex VR Voyager

I test dive both of them.
I'm not an expert at all but I can give you my opinion.
In the water and outside they both fell pretty similar. The weight difference is not noticeable. As for the noise level in the water again seem the same just different type of pitch.
The difference is the battery the go use segment batteries instead the quantum is the cap.
To change speed on the quantum you need two hand, on the go! you can try to use your thumb to press the up and down button.
One thing that I noticed and I was surprised the Seacraft battery seems to suffer from cold water. That could be due the battery design.
Here is the video of the go!

so if you shuld choose between the 2. would you then pay the extra 1200euro to get a seacraft?

Honestly that is the question for me. I need to take one of the new VRs out for a test drive but looking at it from specs.

Seacraft
Pros:
Longer range in travel configuration
Comes with a travel safe battery
Can change speed on the handle

Cons:
More expensive
Ramp up speed
Triggers are annoying
No local service

Suex
Pros:
Cheaper
Better trigger
Instant Power
Local service
Probably uses the same app as my XJ-S

Cons:
Travel configuration is a separate purchase and shorter range
Have to reach forward to change speed

Think to consider is it worth it( cost wise) to travel with the DPV? And as for my experience it seem the Seacraft battery are more temperature sensitive

Rental DPVs are $75-100 a day. A third bag is $200 each way or free with first class.

So a few days of DPV cave diving it can be a savings.

What temperature range are you talking about? Like my normal water temps are in the 20c range.

My Shearwater saying 16c
