I use a SS scooter and rarely dive without it.

I use it to get me effortlessly down to deep wrecks in current without working hard and for deep dives Im able to see much more of the wreck for my bottom time.

This lack of effort can only be beneficial for minimising on-gassing, CO2 production, Narcosis, etc, so to me the scooter is also a safety enhancement as well as a shed load of fun.

I have found the inspiration with OTS lungs scooters slower than the MK15.5.

From what I can see there doesnt seem to be any significant difference between the SS, Gavin or X scooters, the 'working' ends apear to be practically identical. The x scooter uses smaller batteries so has a smaller lighter metal body - but other than that is there any real difference?

I would be happy to own any of the 3.

I chose the SS over the Gavin mainly because the SS has nothing to do with GI3 and because it only has one handle.
