Claims28
An underwater personal mobility apparatus, comprising:
- a main body comprising a main section and a folding section further comprising a mount for an oxygen tank;
- wherein the folding section is rotatable with respect to the main section such that the apparatus may be folded to a folded configuration to facilitate transportation of the apparatus and may be unfolded when submerged to an unfolded configuration, said underwater personal mobility apparatus further comprising a propulsion mechanism.
An underwater personal mobility apparatus, comprising:
- a main body comprising a main section, a folding section, and a rear section, the main section supporting at least one buoyancy member and an observation chamber, the observation chamber configured to accommodate at least a user's head, the folding section configured to hold an oxygen tank, the folding section rotatable with respect to the main section such that the apparatus may fold for ease of use, the rear section comprising a propulsion mechanism, the rear section rotatable with respect to the main section and configured to contact the user's body such that a user's hips can rotate the rear section to steer the underwater personal mobility apparatus.
An underwater personal mobility apparatus, comprising:
- a main body comprising a main section and a folding section, the main section comprising a buoyancy chamber;
- wherein the folding section is rotatable with respect to the main section such that the apparatus may be folded to a folded configuration to facilitate transportation of the apparatus and may be unfolded when submerged to an unfolded configuration, said underwater personal mobility apparatus further comprising a propulsion mechanism.
An underwater personal mobility apparatus, comprising:
- a main body comprising a main section and a folding section further comprising a mount for an oxygen tank;
