To purchase products, please contact us via email or telephone us at (612) 508-4469. If no one is available, it is likely because we are diving and/or teaching. Please leave a message and we will return your call promptly. . *All prices include: DPV, Batteries, Charger, and free shipping within the continental United States. International shipping is available for an additional fee. Orders shipped or picked up within the state of Florida are subject to a 7% sales tax. Accessories: Interchangeable conversion kits (Includes batteries!): UV scooters have interchangeable hulls, with a common motor section and nose cone. Many divers purchase a UV-26 for cave diving and a UV-18 conversion kit for ocean dives. Chargers supplied with scooters will charge any size battery pack. Therefore, conversion kits do not include charger. Change scooter sizes in less than a minute with no tools. UV-18 conversion kit: $600 UV-26 conversion kit: $700 UV-42 conversion kit $1000 Conversion consists of: 1) hull 2) batteries 3) all bulkheads and wiring. Extra battery packs including bulkheads, wiring: To change out for a second dive of the day or for expeditions. What is included? Everything required. UV-18 $450, or $350 without batteries UV-26 $525, or $375 without batteries Replacement hulls:UV-18 $150UV-26 $175 Mityvac (tm) vacuum pump ($65) can be used to test integrity of NiMH sealed battery packs.We have manufactured the N-19 and UV-N-37 battery packs with a separate, sealed compartment.This tool allows this compartment to be leak tested, via the vent screw. This tool can also be used to test the motor compartment and rear shaft seal on any Submerge scooter (UV or N-19) in addition to the motor compartment on a Gavin scooter, and the battery compartment on a Tekna scooter (via the charging port) Instructions: it will take about 30 hand pumps to pull a 10 inch vacuum. The guage should stay steady if tested for a few minutes, or overnight. If there is a leak, be sure to check your connections to the Mityvac pump. Burntester ($150) Scooter burntesters consist of a large resistor which simulates the approximate load of the scooter motor, in this case 24 volts and 16 amps. This is the best way to check the condition of your batteries. Submerge Burntesters include a battery over-discharge protection circuit (LVC), which switches off the tester at the correct time.. when the batteries voltage drops to 21 volts. At the end of the test, a piercing alarm sounds for 1 minute to alert you that the test is complete. At this time, the duration of the test should be recorded. Approximate burn test times for new batteries: UV-18 40-45 minutes UV-26 85-90 minutes N-19 60-75 minutes Ever wonder how much scooter time you had left after a dive? You can use the burntester after the dive, to test how many minutes you had left at full power. Simply plug it in after the dive and record the time until the alarm sounds. The resistor and LVC is mounted an aluminum channel to offer limited protection from the heat generated (~350 watts). It is important that you exercise extreme caution when using this burntester. It becomes extremely hot, hot enough to melt solder (500 degrees F) At this temperature it can melt any plastic close the to resistors (such as your scooter!) It is also a fire hazard if placed near any flammable material. We recommend at least 12 inches/300 mm separation between the resistor and any flammable material. This tester is designed to test 24 volt batteries only. This includes: Any UV battery pack (2x 12 volt lead acid, 24 volt pack) Any Gavin scooter battery pack Any X scooter battery pack. "Watt's Up" meter ($60) This meter is connected in line (between the battery pack and the burntester). It will record the exact A/h of the battery, as well as giving you a real-time voltage measurement. |

"Death Ray" HMI Light ($4495) Many high powered video lights were available, but none matched our idea of the "ideal" 200 watt HMI light. Due to the large current draw and also the limitations of the chunky ballasts required for 200 watt HMI lighting, the battery packs are not only large and bulky but often quite negative. Whilst these cannisters can be accomodated on a divers harness, the extra equipment loading in addition to the stage cylinders required for filming deep or far from the enterance made covering any distance more difficult than it needed to be. We wanted something which we could integrate seemlessly into our standard configuration so we could dive just as comfortably with these high powered lights as on any regular dive. So it seemed natural to utilise the scooters as both the power supply and method of transport for our interpretation of the ultimate underwater light! And after 2 years of effort we are very pleased with the results. The backbone of the system is the UV scooter. We manufactured an new nose cone with a commercial diving rated bulkheaded power outlet. This outlet is accomodated within the front of the nosecone and the cable directed in such a way to be both streamlined and protected from the inevitable bumps. Internally, the charging plug in the nose of the scooters is utilised to draw power from the scooter. Thus, the Death Ray 200 is compatible with all lead acid UV scooters and the 2007 onwards NiMH UV scooters. (Not N-19 due to current draw) The light head contains the ballast, magnetic switches for the light on/off and 100/200 watt settings, the bulb, test tube and adjustable reflector assembly. This light head is longer than than it needs to be to simply accomodate the internal components; the aluminium light head is made longer to make it close to neutral buoyancy. Thus, the integration of this light onto the UV scooters is seemless, without the need for external buoyancy tubes often required for other video equipment. For the reflector we experimented with may different designs. Several film makers we had spoken to requested a reflector which eliminated hot spots and "rings" at the edge of the beam, WITHOUT the use of diffusers which change the color temperature and waste valuable wattage. The conclusion of our tests was a method that differs from anything currently available; I hybrid of a test tube and parobolic reflector with a flooded, glass wide angle lens. The test tube design ensures a depth rating in excess of 500 feet; the flooded glass lens diffuses the light without absorbing many lumens in the process. We are very satisfied with the result. BURNTIMES: To be conservative, cut the scooter runtime by 50% if running the light on full power. However, the light can be used on the 100 watt setting which is more than adequate for most dives. The full 200 watts can be called on when needed with a simple magnetic switch located at the rear of the lighthead. As an example, we have scootered with a UV-26 for 100 minutes, covered about 10,000 feet, and ran the light on full power for 30 minutes. For the ultimate scooter runtime with the light activated for most of the dive, try the UV-N-37. This will run the light and scooter both on full power for more than 60 minutes, and probably 2 hours if using a cruising speed and 100 watt setting for most of the dive. |
