iAQUA AquaDart Nano 520 Explorer - INFORMATION
The AquaDart Nano, with its unique patented Dual-Jet™ technology has revolutionised the professional dive scooter market, delivering power to weight ratio's never before thought possible.
The 520 Explorer is world's most affordable professional dive scooter - a true testament to the skills of iAQUA's designers and engineers. Weighing only 22 kg this extremely powerful machine is an ideal lightweight diving scooter that can be used for over two hours before recharging.
Patented Dual-Jet Propulsion System
The patented drive system delivers up to 60% more thrust than comparable jet systems. While other propulsion systems lose 50% of power due to tunnel turbulence, the iAqua technology shines at all levels. Similar to an aircraft engine, all the energy is harnessed to give you great power and acceleration at lower RPMs. This furthermore results in lower battery consumption that will have a lasting impact on your experience.
Mobility
The engineers have succeeded in developing a scooter that is also 50% lighter than the competition. In addition, the size has been reduced by over 30%. With a weight of only 22 kg, transportation becomes a breeze.
Leading Performance
Looking at the Nano's performance, you might think it defies physics. With 520 Explorer accelerating to top speed in seconds, the joy is limitless. The possibilities on the market have been redefined so you simply can't find anything comparable.
Perfect Choice
With a big step up from the AquaDart Nano 450 series, the Nano 520 Explorer boosts power to 520 Newtons of thrust, taking you to a whopping top speed of 18 km/h. The power-to-weight ratio is 23.6 newtons of thrust per kg. It is also equipped with an onboard accelerometer. This gauge provides you with an "attitude indicator" formerly known as a gyro horizon meter, designed for featureless water and low light diving.
Easy Operation
The patented single-operation control triggers make for simple and easy operation. It can be controlled either left- or right-handed or set to dual trigger operation for safety reasons. All user information is visiblein any situation due to the super-bright 5-inch display which screen shows battery level, speed, depth and more.

Award Winning Scooters
iAQUA manufactured the world's most reliable, and highest performing sea scooters. They were named by several Yachting Pages as the Outright Winner of the world best water toys.
Advanced Features
The Nano is also unique in that it is equipped with an on-board accelerometer. This meter provides you with an attitude indicator formally known as a gyro horizon meter. This useful device provides an artificial horizon reading as well as pitch and roll giving degrees of climb/descent and lateral banking.
