The Breathing Observation Bubble (BOB) is a personal underwater
scooter which uses scuba gear attached to the front of the craft
as an air supply. The pilot sits on the small seat with their
head covered by the acrylic 'bubble' above.
Powered by a 35 lb thrust electric motor, the Breathing observation
Bubble is capable of 2.5 knots. Simple to operate, BOB only
requires a few minutes training before novices can begin exploring
the undersea world.
