Might be the real thing?

There is no on-off control if you look closely. So not sure if it is the real thing (I doubt) or my eyesight is getting bad...

From what I remember about the Arrow(from having seen it at the NACD conference last year), the on-off control is the angled piece on the front of the handle. You just grab it and squeeze, and off you go. It's just a squeeze trigger, IIRC.

You should go for it! However, I'd make sure call the folks at Premiere to make sure that there is a motor in there. They are awful slow about getting back to people via e-mail, or through the ebay channels. Good luck.

This is what I recieved from Premiere Props via ebay email this morning.

Thank you for being part of Premiere Props.

As stated in the auction, we do not know of the working condition of this dive scooter. Unfortunately, we cannot ship this item.

Looks like a POS to me! A Farallon by any other name, is still a Farallon, and sounds just as bad.

Well, it's over. The winning bid went for $421.27 USD.

If it isn't real and just a large prop, that's an expensive doorstopper...

But if it is real, then it's a damn cheap toy!

It'll be interesting to see who PadiScubaPro is...Joe...one of the Rebreather forum members? If anything it certainly went inexpensively.

That's Joe Radomski forum handle.

We will know soon enough.

I think he is at DEMA now ?

It is a real thing. It just might be in a terrible shape. We burned a motor on one and flooded several. Remember that explosion?
