Scubacraft for sailing on and underwater


The Scubacraft is an underwater boat, available in two versions and can carry from 3 to 6 people. This speedboat, which can reach a speed of 45 knots (83 km/h), is fully submersible and allows you to visit the seabed at a depth of up to 30 meters (100 feet), as long as you have your diving equipment at hand.

Scubacraft is a high performance boat that allows you to navigate on and under water thanks to a patented technology that allows it to become submersible. It has essential hydrodynamic characteristics so that it works on and under water. The electrical system can be removed and replaced if necessary and additional batteries allow for more powerful thrusters for longer navigations. Numerous options allow you to accessorize your Scubacraft such as lights or cameras for an enhanced underwater experience. Its trimaran hull provides greater stability and air cushions allow it to reach high speeds. This small underwater boat is designed to be powerful, robust and reliable. It can reach great depths and its operation without an exposed propeller gives it many advantages compared to conventional scuba diving systems.

Scubacraft uses a high-powered jet propulsion system and can tow inflatable buoys like a jet ski.

A necessary training for the scuba diving mode

Diving is a potentially risky activity that requires training. PADI (Professional Association of Diving Instruction) is the world's largest diving organization and provides a full range of courses to provide the skills and qualifications required for safe diving. The Scubacraft pilot should therefore be properly trained and hold an official Scubacraft qualification.

How the Scubacraft works

The Scubacraft is piloted by one person, both on and under water. It consists of a combustion engine and is controlled by a steering wheel. To dive, the engine is turned off and the waterproof seals protect it from the water. The occupants must then put on diving gear and the Scubacraft moves forward thanks to electric thrusters that provide power and steers itself thanks to a fin system. If power is lost, the Scubacraft is designed to surface and float. During underwater navigation, it is also possible to leave the boat to explore the depths and then return to resume navigation.

To guarantee the safety of its crew, the Scubacraft has an automatic depth control system (ADC), a VHF radio, underwater communication tools as well as lights and a GPS. It also allows to be located by all underwater devices.

An ideal tender for a yacht

The Scubacraft weighs only 500 kg and is easily hoisted onto the deck of a yacht. Its batteries are fully rechargeable overnight. It comes with a full set of diving equipment.
