Is there one that can actually get the job done for the price? no deco, technical, cave etc. Just to be used at local quarries . Needs to be rated to 100-130 range. Decent run time and speed?
Scuba DPV under $1000?

I have a uv26 that works great for cave diving that I'd sell for $1k
Your best bet is a used SS UV-18/26 or Gavin. They're old and heavy, but reliable, and the big bodies ride smooth like a Cadillac.
Anything newer is probably gonna be much more expensive. The old SLA's are cheap, and relatively plentiful.

New? Maybe this would work - 100' depth limit
or it's a glorified pool toy.

Sometimes there's used Apollo's on ebay for under $1000 - nowhere near the quality/speed of an SS though. I have driven an Apollo several times in warm water gear and while not balzingly fast it's enough to rip your mask off if not careful.

I'll try to get you pics tomorrow. Also, my friend has a mako for sale that needs batteries. I think it has less than half the run time of a UV26, but works well. I wouldn't take it much deeper than 120'ish

I know they are >$1k, but I am really looking at the subgravity aquaprop for a fun little scooter where depth/duration are not "as" important. The suex VR is a couple steps up from that and a little more coin. I am optimistic that a supply of these immerge in the used market within a year or so.

I highly suggest you demo one before buying it. These are only slightly better than a pool toy scooter.
