An advantage over thin and long scooters which should not be underestimated for long distance scooter diving Depth rated to a conservative 400 feet, UV scooters have a 10 year track record of dives as deep as 650 feet/185 meters.

Number 1 in diver comfort:
As with all UV model scooters, the UV-26  as an advantage over thin and long scooters which should not be underestimated for long distance scooter diving. The larger diameter of the UV scooters (10.6"/270mm) allows the battery packs to be offset from the centerline of the scooter. This acts in exactly the same way as the heavy keels used in yacht. In the case of the scooter, this offset weight counteracts the torque/twisting action of the propellers.

Without this feature, the diver would have to constantly apply a small but significant force to the handle of the scooter, to prevent the scooter from it's constant desire to rotate in a direction opposite the propeller rotation. This feature has to be experienced to fully appreciate. Many Submerge divers who have switched from the UV scooters to the smaller N-19 crave the stability and comfort of the UV scooters during longer dives.
