The Nautica Navtech 1 Seascooter is the highest-speed model in the current Navtech Professional Dive Series. Its verified 500W power output, three selectable speed settings and published maximum speed of up to 4.35 mph/7 km/h provide a clear step up from the Navtech 2 and Navtech 3. The equipment carries a 130 ft/40 m depth rating, but that rating does not extend a diver’s certification, training or personal dive limits.
The removable 21.9V 13Ah lithium-ion battery provides up to 90 minutes of normal intermittent use or up to 40 minutes of continuous operation. A fully discharged standard battery requires approximately 8–10 hours to recharge. Four included ballast weights and two fins allow the unit’s configuration and buoyancy to be adjusted as directed in the manual.
A removable camera mount supports compatible action-camera mounting systems, although the camera and attachment screw are not included. Choose the Navtech 1 when its higher published speed and longer Navtech-series runtime justify the 20.9 lb land weight, longer charging window and large 284.7Wh battery. This product is intended for personal recreational use, and scuba operation is restricted to qualified divers.
500W Three-Speed Propulsion
The Navtech 1 combines a verified 500W output with three selectable speed settings and a published maximum speed of up to 4.35 mph/7 km/h. Actual speed can vary according to the operator’s position, equipment configuration, battery charge and water conditions.
Extended Normal and Continuous Runtime
The removable 21.9V 13Ah lithium-ion battery supports up to 90 minutes of normal intermittent use or up to 40 minutes of continuous operation. The distinction is important when planning charging and use; actual operating time depends on activation pattern, speed setting, load and conditions.
130-Foot Equipment Depth Rating
The Navtech 1 carries a 130 ft/40 m equipment depth rating and is positioned for advanced divers. The rating describes the product limit only. It does not authorize a diver to exceed certification, training, gas-planning, environmental or personal limits.
Included Adjustable Ballast and Fins
Four included ballast weights fit into dedicated adjustment positions, while two included fins attach at the rear. These components allow the unit’s handling and buoyancy configuration to be adjusted according to the manual. Buoyancy must still be checked in the actual water type before every use.
Compatible Action-Camera Mount
The removable mount supports compatible action-camera mounting systems, allowing a suitable camera housing to be attached to the seascooter. The camera, camera housing and attachment screw are not included, and buyers must confirm their mounting interface and required hardware.
Water-Leak Monitoring and Protective Grilles
Protective front and rear grilles enclose the propeller area. A built-in water-leak sensor monitors the unit during operation and warns of detected water intrusion through periodic motor interruption and an audible alert. Stop operating a unit with suspected leakage and follow the service instructions.
The manufacturer’s exact package listing includes:
The camera mount is a feature of the seascooter rather than a separately listed box item. Camera, camera housing and attachment screw are not included.
The battery is 21.9V × 13Ah = 284.7Wh. Current FAA guidance prohibits passenger batteries exceeding 160Wh. Therefore, the standard Navtech 1 battery cannot be carried by a passenger in either carry-on or checked baggage. Transport through an approved dangerous-goods cargo service may involve separate packaging, documentation and carrier requirements.
Do not describe this battery as airline approved. Confirm any proposed shipment with the carrier before travel.
The Nautica Navtech 1 Seascooter is designed for qualified buyers who prioritize speed and normal-use runtime within the current Navtech series. Its 500W output, three speed settings and maximum published speed of up to 4.35 mph/7 km/h distinguish it from the Navtech 2 and Navtech 3. The equipment is rated to 130 ft/40 m, but the diver must always remain within personal training and certification limits.
Battery capacity is both an advantage and a buying consideration. The removable 21.9V 13Ah battery provides up to 90 minutes of normal intermittent use or 40 minutes of continuous operation, but a full recharge takes approximately 8–10 hours. At 20.9 lb/9.5 kg with the battery, the Navtech 1 is also heavier on land than the Navtech 2.
Choose this Nautica diving scooter when its additional speed, runtime, included ballast system and 130-foot rating match your planned personal recreational use. Choose the Navtech 2 when you prefer a lighter unit and shorter recharge period. Travelers should also note that the standard 284.7Wh battery exceeds the FAA passenger-baggage limit and cannot be treated as a normal carry-on or checked battery.

The Navtech 1 is the highest-speed, longest-normal-runtime model in the current Navtech 1, 2 and 3 range. It is intended for qualified recreational divers whose planned use benefits from the additional speed and battery capacity.
The main tradeoffs are the 20.9 lb land weight, 8–10-hour recharge time and 284.7Wh battery. Choose the Navtech 2 when its lower weight, shorter recharge time, up to 3.7 mph speed and 75-minute normal runtime are sufficient.

From recreational dive scooters to professional-grade models — explore every series and find the one built for your next dive.
The Nautica Navtech 1 has been an awesome underwater scooter for deep recreational diving down to 130 ft. Cruising at speeds up to 3.7 mph makes exploring reefs and moving against light currents smooth and effortless.
The high-performance lithium-ion battery provides around 90 minutes of total run time per charge. Rated 4.5 stars because keeping the rubber O-ring seal completely clean of sand and well-lubricated with silicone grease is essential to prevent leaks.
The self-filling ballast chamber for custom buoyancy control works great in both salt and fresh water. Mounting an action camera to the built-in bracket allowed us to capture steady video footage. Excellent packaging and fast delivery from Mariners Warehouse.
Very sturdy construction with dual-trigger throttle controls for safety underwater. The battery level indicator gives real-time feedback while diving. Just remember to rinse out the motor casing with fresh water after every dive.
Arrived well-packaged with the fast charger, silicone grease, and custom ballast weights included. Intuitive operation and 3-stage speed control make it effortless to conserve energy on extended underwater dives.
