Sea-Doo SD6545 VS Supercharged Sea Scooter Review

Sea-Doo SD6545 VS Supercharged Sea Scooter
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I am an avid Diver and can be found on most weekends underwater somewhere in Northern California or the Channel Islands.I LOVE my SeaDoo VS Supercharged Scooter!Highly recommended for all levels of divers, from beginners to advanced.It is rated for 100', but I know that it can handle 130'.I regularly use it for fun diving and while teaching.I often give other divers a tow when they are tired.

The only challenge you will have with it is maintenance if it ever needs it. I've only found one organization that repairs them - GA Services, LLC in Irvine, CA.

Make sure you check your seals before each dive, keep the prop clear of kelp and debris, and rinse it well after each dive.It will serve you very well.

Intova Wide Angle Torch Flashlight Review

Intova Wide Angle Torch Flashlight

I've been diving since '93 and have had a fair number of lights over the years.I still love my big old UK1200 but it's a monster with 8 D Cells and I wanted a really good small backup light that could be kept with me all the time.

So I bought one of these and was astonished at how good it is.And so immediately bought a 2nd.We just got back from 8 days in Bonaire and I kept one with me during day dives, where it came in very handy for looking under ledges below about 40-50'.And I used both of them, one in each hand, for night dives.

Other lights have a "hot spot", and then a "halo" around that.This Intova Wide Angle has a single very wide hot spot.There is no discernible difference between the center and edges - it is simply one BIG hot spot.Quite bright and clear.If you have 2 of them, then you can pan them back and forth and bathe a very impressive swath of reef.If you want "more light" then simply overlap the two beams and VOILA - you get nearly double the output.So for $110 - get two of these and you will be very happy indeed.

The batteries last a good long time.Intova claims something like 8 hours or more.I'd say from my experience that you can get a good 5-6 hours, and they get dimmer after that.

Replacement batteries do not need to be all that expensive - just do a search on any major engine for CR-123 or CR-123a and you'll find these for about $1 per battery (2 needed) - so get a bunch and you're set - they are lithium and should really last.

Everything that you want to see from 1-15 feet - these are ideal.They do NOT have the penetrating power of a "true primary light" but that's ok by me since I'm highly focused on everything within 15', and usually 10' or less, at night.

I would say that these are the BEST 2ndary light ever, hands-down.But, I made very good use of them as a pair for my primary, and let one of our group borrow my monster UK1200.

I had considered getting Intova's high-end 3 LED primary but for $250, it didn't make sense, especially when I can just hold these 2 together and double-up my output whenever I like.

Bottom line - GET one, or better yet get two.
