[cavediverswife50]

MINNUS DPV Scooter for sale. Used only 4 or 5 times and only in fresh water. My husband took excellent care of this equipment. Has video mount which cost an extra $620. Am asking $4500 or best reasonable offer. Local pick up only please. Thank you.

Been diving one for over 2 years & it's an excellent machine. Would take it anywhere!

Please post some pictures of the scooter. Also how old is the scooter, do you know where is was purchased from?

Also is this the Minnus 1.5 or the Traveller (smaller version)

I will post pictures tomorrow. It was purchased from Cave Adventurers in Marianna, FL in March of 2012. I am confident that it is the Minnus Traveller based on the length of the unit and what we paid for it. We paid $4800 for the scooter and $620 for the video mount for a total of $5420.

Here are some pictures of the Minnus for sale. This unit weighs 33 lbs and is approx. 22" in length, which from what I can find on the specs would indicate it is the Minnus Traveller. However, this has the 7 cells Li-ion/Po Charger which would indicate it has the Lithium Ion Polymer battery-which would explain the extra cost of the unit (the Traveller with the standard nickel metal hydride battery retails for $4500). I also received input from one of my husband's friends who indicated this unit had a longer run time than the traveller. I know the Traveller and 1.5 are interchangeable, but can't really find details on what components-guessing it's the battery. I'm completely open to any input to verify or clarify! This unit also has the glove trigger. I will do my best to provide all information and details. I will never use this equipment and just want to make sure it goes to someone who can appreciate it. Thank you

When the minnus first came out I believe it was the one used at the 2011 Tahoe benchmark. Test stats are In the link.

I think it cost between 5000-5250 ish. Can't find the SS spec sheet on it

There was a Minnus (non-Traveler, non 1.5) before either of the other two variants came out. It was Lithium powered, and about the size of the current Traveler. When the 1.5 was released for a small premium over the Minnus 1, it put up too much internal competition (seems like). The Minnus 1 was given a Nickel pack and called the Traveler and repurposed that way. So, as far as I can tell, this is neither the 1.5 or the Traveler....it's just a Minnus. A "better" scooter than the Traveler, but you can't fly with it (as easily?).

I'm sure a call to Rodney would quickly get an answer.

Brent ordered that scooter in late 2011, or early 2012.

[cavediverswife50]

Yes, it was ordered and a deposit was paid on Oct. 24th of 2011, and the balance was paid on March 8th, 2012 when Brent was in Florida again-that is when he picked it up. I have the receipts, but unfortunately, nothing I have indicates which model it is. I tried calling Ed at Cave Adventurers a few times to get more information, but have not been able to catch him unfortunately.

Thanks for the input-appreciate it!
