I know his money didn't come from diving :-)

I'll post some pics of the battery pack when I get a mo. It's very compact - I can't see you'd get a lot of SLA in there. The reduced displacement of the smaller body wouldn't take any more weight and remain neutral. The scooter is supposed to have been weighted by GI3 to be perfectly neutral in salt, slightly negative in fresh. We'll find out on Friday conditions permitting.

GI3 is supposed to be testing them in cave out in Mexico some time soon according to RichW. I think a long bodied version with two packs of batteries is a more likely development I would guess
