Yamaha RDS sea scooters
This is no toy! My wife and I purchased 2 and use if for snorkeling and the units are rated to 65ft, We ran all afternoon non-stop for 45 minutes in stiff ocean currents in Ft Lauderdale and the units still had power. They are easy to use and rugged. I highly recommend the RDS200 series for snorkeling and diving in shallow reefs. Yamaha does make other RDS series that run longer and go deeper.You need to be cautious though that you always swim into a current to start a session and be careful not to run out of power and be too far away from shore or the boat. Your weight and strength of the current should always be taken into consideration.

Used for 45 minute dive to 100 feet. Used throughout entire dive due to current. Plenty of battery juice after dive.

Love this item and would buy it again
I purchased this item because I love to snorkel so I figured out it will help me to cover more area in shorter time, it gave me about 2 hours and 15 minutes of continuos usage at a great speed, loved the item and will definitely buy it again or recommend it to anyone, I’m 175 lbs and pull me with no problem wonderful color and I was the envy of many on the water.

Our family has had so much fun with this so far
Our family has had so much fun with this so far. Battery lasts a reasonable amount of time, we do plan to purchase a back-up just for those times we have multi riders. It really moves at a decent pace, obviously depends on the size of the rider - but no one, big or small have been disappointed!

A Must Have When Snorkeling!
Loved snorkeling with Yamaha Seascooters! We took the 250 and 300 to Maui and rode them nonstop out far to the coral reefs, snorkeled about an hour running them on and off then rode them back. In one day, they were both used continuously to the snorkeling spot and back and the battery did not die. The 250 pulled my 250lb husband no problem, but the 300 gave him more power. Do not hesitate to buy one, but note that they start to get heavy when hauling them to the water. We also bubble wrapped them, kept them both in the original boxes and checked them on the airplane.

Works for big guys
I am an avid swimmer and diver. This thing is a blast if you have Scuba gear or a great set of lungs. I am roughly 200lbs and this thing gives me some great pull through the water. Strap on a pair of fins and I can easily free dive to 30+ ft easily. Awesome for Scuba, and you can really get going if you are not fighting the current. 10/10 would buy again.

Beware
Lasts more like 5-10 minutes max. I bought two of them with a spare battery and same thing with both. 5-10 minutes of run time

Expensive toy
Kids like it. Hard to get it to close when replacing the battery
