Seacraft FUTURE AirTravel 800 DPV (SKU 1FP2042)

Lightweight, compact diver propulsion vehicle designed for recreational and technical diving. The unit features magnetic, transmission-less propulsion, a modular 780 Wh Li‑Ion battery, and an onboard computer with remaining runtime estimation and usage history.

Key features

• Magnetic propulsion: Motor operates directly in the water, eliminating a drive shaft and related seals and gears.
• Post-swirl stator system: Stator design reduces turning force on the handle across the speed range and improves drive efficiency.
• Airfoil-shaped propeller: Optimised for diver loads and speeds to improve thrust at lower RPM.
• Dual steering handle: Two handles and two triggers allow intuitive hand switching, even at speed.
• Burntime display: Continuous calculation of remaining runtime based on gear and engine load.
• Battery management: Dedicated BMS for long and reliable battery operation; sealed battery construction for moisture protection.
• BLAC steering: Brushless alternating current control for efficient motor management.
• Booster and double-tap: Booster mode for gradual acceleration; double-tap opposite trigger to quickly switch to gear 9 and return to prior speed with two more taps.
• Easy propeller removal: Magnet-held propeller can be removed and reassembled underwater without tools in case of entanglement.
• External charging port: Charge the unit without disassembly; charger connector is hermetic.
• Onboard computer: Colour display shows battery status, gear, runtime, power consumption, voltage, RPM, temperature and humidity in the electronics chamber.
• Time lock and master switch: Configurable time lock returns unit to zero gear after a user-defined delay; single non-contact master switch provides a reliable kill function.
• User customisation: Settings menu allows limiting maximum power, selecting engine modes and other adjustments, accessible even underwater.
• Low magnetic influence: Motor located outside the hull reduces magnetic interference with compasses and electronics.
• Full one-handed control: Acceleration, deceleration and motor activation can be operated with a single hand (left or right).
• Lightweight design: With battery and ballast configured for fresh water the ready-to-dive weight is 15.9 kg.
• Efficiency: The drive system is highly optimised for propulsion efficiency; internal testing indicates significantly reduced power consumption versus some other designs.
