If you’re not interested in scuba school, but want to go underwater try underwater scootering in Cancun or Hawaii. It combines slow-speed zooming and ocean exploration. These battery-powered, eco-friendly underwater scooters come with large helmets known as BOBS (breathing observation bubbles).
The helmet is connected by a tube to the air above the water. No tank or mask is required. The headgear is even big enough to provide almost 360-degree visibility.
You wear one while seated on the scooter. The scooter goes as high as nine mph. It can stop almost immediately when the rider disengages the propeller.
