    Default 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

    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.
