What Is a Sea Scooter Safari?

A sea scooter (or diver propulsion vehicle) is a handheld device that propels snorkellers and divers through the water with ease. By holding onto the scooter’s handles, you can glide above reefs, dive beneath the surface, and cover more ground without tiring yourself out. Tangatours’ Sea Scooter Safari is the ultimate way to see more marine life in less time while having fun with family and friends.
