Breathing Observation Bubble
Looking like something out of a James Bond movie the 'BOB' is a personal underwater scooter which replaces scuba gear. The 'pilot sits on a seat under which ballast weights are secured, with their head inside a clear acrylic bubble which is filled with air from a storage tank. Apparently it provides a more comfortable underwater experience than breathing through a regulator. The training course can be completed in a few minutes. The craft is powered with a 35 pound thrust electric motor which providing a top speed of about 2.5 knots.
The craft is navigated with a combination steering and instrument console which provides control and systems monitoring. Novices can master the controls in minutes.
