Yamaha Seascooter, Yamaha Recreational Series Underwater Sea Scooters Seal and Explorer Models with GoPro Camera Mount

We bought this for our 8 year old boy. It is a bit bulky, but he loves it. I followed the instructions exactly. it worked for the first 2 charges. On the 3rd, the battery died even though I charged over 12 hrs. The batter had no juice. It was making a chirping sound, then died completely. Of course, all this happened, 2 days after my return window. I called amazon. They were super understanding. She offered to send me a free battery first. If that does not work, she offered me the opportunity to return. She told me she made a note in my account so I would be able to return later. So far, I have not had a chance to try the new battery out, but super happy with the service I received.

We purchased this for our 7 year old grandson to use in our (large) pool. It has been a smash success so far. It should be great for learning to use a snorkel with, before he has a chance to get out in open water. Our only issue so far relate to the battery charging and installation. It would be quite helpful if the instructions suggested proper routing for the battery's wires. Also, the battery takes much longer to charge than suggested in the manual- 12 to 16 hours for us before the green light illuminates on the charger. The seal on the cover has been flawless.

++Updated++ I didn't give up because my kids love it. So we bought a new battery for $100 then really sealed battery compartment with a really good plumbers grease! Really lay it on rubber gasket. Everytime u stop and charge seal again and again. It has worked ok since then. Seems battery was getting wet and went bad. Also water was getting inside and sharing out? When sealed with a ton of plummer's grease it's been ok. Pile it on! Everytime over and over lol Bought for Christmas. It just got hot. We used it for one charge. Now it works few seconds and dies! This is the last time I buy one. Don't waste your money like I did. I read reviews but thout somehow would be able to keep it working. Waste of money and can't return since it was Christmas present?

My kids had enjoyed these scooters (we bought 2) in our swimming pool. When we went to Punta Cana, they wanted to take them along. I also wanted to try them in the ocean. We flew business class, so the extra luggage was not an issue. However, the batteries were problematic. First, the American Airlines counter staff asked me to remove the batteries from the scooters even when I told them they weren't the lithium kind. I took them out anyway. Then they told me I couldn't take the batteries as carry-on because they have acid inside! After a long negotiation and looking up info on line, they finally deferred the decision to TSA. TSA didn't have any problems. Phew! The kids had fun with the scooters at the pool in Punta Cana. I didn't get to use them in the ocean because the waves were too rough. On our return flight, the security agents in Dominican Republic categorically told me I could not bring the batteries on the plane. I could not argue with them b/c they didn't speak English. I let them keep my batteries. Now I am finding out it will cost me $238 + tax to replace the batteries! My fantasy of scootering around tropical fishes is shot! It's not with the hassle to fly with them again.

I was very impressed with this item's performance. Yes, it's pricy, has the name Yamaha so of course, and it's a very niche type of product so it is to be expected. That said, first charge took around 6 hours for the battery, then we slapped on the rubber seal and slathered it with the included silicone sealant and he was off and this was off to the races! I was impressed as it could drag my 180 pound self pretty well, and of course flew my 10 year old all over the pool. Hope it lasts, 'cause this gave about an hour or so worth of runtime/use between swapping between users and the kiddo getting his water scooter seal legs. All and all, I may have to get another battery for this bad boy 'cause it's pretty fun!

I weight 205 and this easily pulled me through the water with ease. It was perfect for snorkeling. We took a 10'-12' hobby cat out with 5 adults and had no wind to get back so the last 200' this pushed us back in. Did not scare fish at all. Long battery life. Just be sure to at least charge it every 3 months or the battery could be ruined.

The kids love it and it works great in our pool. I have it three stars because the trigger mechanism doesn’t work sometimes. When you pull both triggers, the power hesitates and then slowly ramps up which is nice. However, sometimes it does not come on at all and I have to release it and then activate it again for it to work. Sometimes it takes several tries to get it to work.

Best to bring an extra battery. You can get very far from shore with one battery. Then you are too far to swim back. Runs three miles in calm waters. Wear a life jacket, make sure you have an emergency signal device and a fire extinguisher.

no es posible que amazon tenga un proveedor asi que no respete y ayude para devolver no lo recomiendo nada es muy delicado cuando no respetan las cosas

This item is shown as purple on the box. On the inside it is blue as shown. Haven't tried it yet but it looks great. A bit heavier than we expected.

Lots of fun, they are great for a pool. They are strong enough to pull the weight of an adult. Battery life is about 1 hour which is a little quick as it takes 12 hours to fully charge them. The top of one of the units keeps popping off which allows water to penetrate the battery, which is a defect.

Perfect for my family and pool

Battery life is about 2 hours. Charges overnight. Kids have good fun with this in the pool. Glad I purchased. Update after the winter: reducing the review from 5 stars to 3 stars. The battery is dead even though I fully charged it every 2-3 months during the off-season. Warranty is only 180 days so I'm out of luck for support.
