This machine hauls ass and would be perfect for hardcore breath hold diving . It moves around 500 feet per minute so will give your neck muscles a good workout . The main advantage is not having any strings attached and no tethering to the craft . This is no toy , a big boy at over 100 pounds so using a winch from my boat makes it a piece of cake . I have been on hiatus and aiming to get back in the water .

So heavy it needs to be winched onto a boat, pretty big turn off for most people. I'm not going searching looking for you magical sleigh. It doesn't sound that useful.
OP
I really do not appreciate a lot of negative comments since most know nothing about the topic and it having a application toward free diving . I can dive with double tanks with no fins and harness effortlessly .

Sorry to hear you are offended, but based on the lack of details about model number or manufacturer, or that you have built a great dpv, I don't
