The Marine 280 Seascooter is a compact and efficient device, perfect for recreational diving and snorkelling.
With a runtime of up to 90 minutes and a top speed of 2.8 mph (4.5 km/h), this single speed seascooter will effortlessly glide through the water, taking you on a journey through the depths.

The Marine 280 is a single-speed seascooter built for recreational divers and snorkellers who want effortless underwater propulsion without complexity. Lightweight, reliable, and rated to 30 metres, it's the perfect companion for exploring reefs, coastlines, and marine parks.
The Marine 280 strips away complexity in favour of pure reliability. A single-speed motor delivers a consistent 2.8 mph (4.5 km/h) — fast enough to cover serious ground, gentle enough for close-up marine observation. There are no gear switches, no mode toggles — just pull the trigger and go. Assembly and disassembly are highly intuitive, so you can be underwater within minutes of arriving at the dive site.
With up to 90 minutes of runtime from a single charge, the Marine 280 outlasts many entry-level seascooters in its class. The 12V 12Ah lead acid battery is robust, affordable, and widely available — making replacement or spare batteries easy to source. Charge time is 5–7 hours, so you can recharge overnight and be ready for the next day’s dive.
At 8.2 kg (18 lb), the Marine 280 is light enough to carry down a pier or load into a dive bag without strain. It’s rated to 30 metres (100 feet), making it suitable for the vast majority of recreational snorkelling and scuba diving scenarios. A camera mount is included, so you can capture your underwater adventures with a GoPro or compatible action camera.
Strap in and let the Marine 280 carry you through kelp forests, shipwrecks, and open water. With 90 minutes of runtime and a steady 2.8 mph glide, you can spend less time worrying about battery life and more time discovering what lies beneath. This is recreational diving the way it should be — simple, stress-free, and beautifully efficient.
