How We Rate Them 
We use the 6 criteria listed below to assign our ratings.
- Size: Size of underwater scooters will vary from small pool toys for kids to professional underwater scooters.
- Buoyancy: Buoyancy is usually a neutral to slight positive depending on the model. With a slight positive buoyancy ensures that if scooter is left unattended, it will slowly reach the surface.
- Depth range: This can vary from several meters to 40 meters. At 40 meters this is a safe limit for safe scuba diving using ordinary air for breathing.
- Power output: Batteries can vary from a few hundreds watts to few kilowatts. The stronger engine doesn’t mean more noise, since expensive models usually have better acoustic insulation, better bearings and better and larger propellers.
- Endurance: Again this depends on the size of the scooter, battery type, size, capacity, and the way the scooter is used.
- Scooter prices: This can vary from $100 or so dollars on up to several thousands (or even more) dollars in the most professional sea scooters.
