Go Underwater Scooting With Water’s Answer To The Segway!

Thursday, October 14, 2010 14:43 | Filled in Underwater Technology

If you’re planning a summer trip to Florida next year then why not pencil in a trip to the only place in the world where you can scoot underwater? If you pay a visit to the Hydrodome in Ft. Lauderdale then you can see what it’s like for the members of staff who work there to travel around the bottom of the pool on an underwater their Segway, HydroBOB.

“An underwater Segway?!” You may ask, yes that’s right, well it’s more like an underwater scooter but it’s still pretty cool! You don’t need any experience Scuba diving because you literally bung your head in an oxygen filled ball/helmet and you’re off. It’s almost like someone had the idea of rolling up Jet skiing and scuba diving and came up with this Segway/scooter type thing.

Sadly, the HydroBOB’s aren’t yet available to buy, so for any of you millionaires out there that are reading this and plotting a James Bond like venture to the sea on your trusty ol’ steed then you can forget that straight away!

Alternatively, if you’re in ft. Lauderdale anytime soon then why not book in to pay a visit and have a good old rasp on one of these underwater scooters. A sure-fire way to keep the kids entertained for an hour and at just $25 per hour it is in some people’s eyes $25 or £15 well spent!
