ABSTRACT:
A submergible, two-passenger dive sled includes a foldable sled frame being adjustable in length, a break-away tow hook for interconnection within the tow line of a power boat, an adjustably foldable deflecting screen having a preferred position for maintaining the elevation of the sled at a preferred depth, forward most situated diver-controlled pivotable ailerons for adjusting and manipulating the axial stability and selected depth of the sled, and a break away tail piece feature for added safety. The dive sled is structured to have a positive bouyancy at its front end relative to its back end. The sled may be segmented into interconnected parts and may include selectively removable components for convenient storage and shipment. A number of electric lines are provided for provided power to lights optionally mounted on the sled and for allowing communication by an electric signal switch and an optional voice communicator. A series of diver-enclosing anti-shark shields may optionally be provided.
