The Front Runner: Yamaha RDS250

Yamaha is one of the big players in the water scooter market, with several different models – at several different price points. We’ve picked this $545 model as our front runner because of its all-round impressive performance, with a runtime of around two hours, a top speed of 2.5 miles per hour and a max diving depth of around 100 feet. Globosurfer.com said “It looks like it is a high-quality scooter and that’s exactly what you get.”

The Fast One: Hoverstar AquaJet Dive H2

Hailed as a ‘bionic marine vehicle’ by its manufacturer, the AquaJet Dive H2 is one of the coolest-looking water scooters out there. It’s also one of the fastest, boasting a top speed of 5.6 miles per hour. It does come with the choice of three speeds. It’s quite pricey at around $1,600, but on top of its nippy speed, you also get a one and a half hour runtime, a 66 feet diving depth, and the ability to dismantle the scooter into multiple parts, for easy storage. 

The Funky One: Sublue WhiteShark Mix Underwater Scooter

If style and quirkiness matter to you, then you should check out this Sublue model. With a design that hovers somewhere between a deep sea creature and a spaceship, it’s sure to catch the eye of other divers when you’re exploring. And just because it’s got a stylish exterior, doesn’t mean it lacks finesse. This $500 scooter still manages to offer a diving depth of 131 feet and a top speed of 3.3 miles per hour.

The Deluxe: TUSA SAV-7 EVO-2

This water scooter ain’t cheap, at around $3,800, but it is aimed at professionals, and won’t disappoint when it comes to versatility. This scooter has a hands-free saddle for easy exploration, a 230 feet diving depth, and it can accommodate up to three divers at once thanks to its available side wings accessory. It even has an LED battery life indicator, and the ability to modify its pitch and angle for added underwater accuracy. A battery life of just under two hours isn’t bad either! 

The Beginner Pick: Yamaha Seal Seascooter

If you’re not looking to discover the lost city of Atlantis, but just want to swim along shallow coral reefs, then Yamaha has this affordable beginner option. Priced at around $300, the Seal has a max diving depth of 15 feet, a top speed of 2 miles per hour, and a runtime of around 1.5 hours – so families will find its performance perfectly adequate. The Seal also has substantial mesh protection to stop little ones’ fingers getting caught in the propellers.  

So which water scooter should you choose? Well, apart from safety and price, runtime and diving depth are the two big criteria, so be sure to think about what type of diving you’re likely to be doing, before taking the plunge!
