Apollo AV-1 Scooter For Sale

Apollo AV-1 Scooter for sale, purchased new in 2006, has approx. 60 dives or less. Belonged to a friend of mine from iowa, we both bought them at the same time... I killed mine several years ago and he didn't get much use out of his up in Iowa and sent it to me 2 years ago with hopes I could get more use out of it in Florida. I've only dove it twice since he sent it to me. Scooter is in great shape, battery still holds a strong charge however if anything would ever need to be replaced, it might be the battery, as I do not know the exact run time for it, and of course batteries seem to die if not used regularly. All seals and mechanisims are in great condition, including charger. Asking $500, originally purchased for $1050, with pickup in Jacksonville, FL. Call/Text or email... 904-465-3152

Being, ...unfamiliar with this scooter can you give an idea of it's performance in cave gear? (fpm, burn time, etc)

The one I had I used mostly in open water for off shore wrecks and spearfishing... I did a few dives in caves with it... Ginnie and Manatee.... given this was when the flow was back up and I recall doing the big rom circuit twice on one dive, one battery. The battery, in new/fresh condition, will generally give you about 50-60 minutes of burn time. I'm not exactly sure about FPM on this unit. I had a tow line rigged up tied off the rear of the prop. shroude and I would drive the unit on its side so I could have one hand controll of the trigger handle. the prop has 3 pitches/speeds and the trigger is a magnetic switch with a lock on position. One unique feature about this scooter is that the battery compartment is completely seperate from the motor housing, seperated by a bulkhead that is sealed, so good news... if you mess up the o-ring when swapping out batteries, and flood the battery compartment, scooter is still good... clean out the compartment, replace o-rings and change battery connections if necessary and you're back in business.

Apollo declined to participate in both the 2009 and 2011 Tahoe Benchmark tests.

apollo sold... i'll repost if pickup/payment fails. thanks!
