ABSTRACT:
A submersible drive unit for propelling a scuba diver through water. The propulsion device comprises a shrouded propeller which is removably and adjustably attached to the diver's air tank. Removably attached to the propeller shroud is a waterproof motor housing for encasing a motor to drive the propeller. Batteries for driving the motor are enclosed within two kidney-shaped cases, one located on each side of a conventional diver's weight belt. A hand grip having at least one switch is used to activate/deactivate the unit as well as to control the speed.
