ABSTRACT:
An underwater scooter including a main frame on which are disposed two air tanks serving as a saddle area for the operator, a depth adjusting mechanism disposed to the fore of the air tanks, and a steering mechanism disposed to the aft of the air tanks. The depth adjusting mechanism can be swiveled freely around a vertical axis using a swivel mechanism, and moreover the angular displacement in this swiveling is transmitted by a swivel angle displacement transmission mechanism to the steering mechanism so that a rudder swivels around a vertical axis, and thus while the underwater scooter is traveling, the operator can ride upon the main frame and also adjust the depth of travel and direction of forward motion of the underwater scooter by manipulating the depth adjusting mechanism and steering mechanisms. Thus, the burden on the operator is reduced in comparison to that of the conventional types of scooters that tow the operator.
