The BOB is a one person, 2 knot, submersible designed to enable certified and non-certified divers to cruse effortlessly underwater. This unique vehicle combines a bubble helmet, seat, tank and thruster inside a rotationally molded, impact resistance, polyethylene body. The divers sit in a comfortable upright position with their head in a bubble of air. A button on the steering wheel operates the thruster under the seat. Simply pushing the button and steering enables the diver to drive around underwater.
