In the meantime, here is a short clip exported from the camera, this was shot shortly after sunset. We both had to have the speed at 1 to keep from outrunning the turtle. Low light performance of the CSI camera head appears to exceed that of the Canon Elura 100 camcorder, I was impressed.

And here is another clip high noon at the surface.

Very cool! Thank you for posting the clips.
 
I think checking in a DPV really depends on the type of battery it uses... I have a Seadoo Explorer which uses a lead acid battery, and I had wanted to travel with it once, but when I asked the airline, they basically said that wet (acid) based batteries were not allowed no matter what in check-in luggage, and must be shipped as cargo and declared.. But for other scooters that use NiMh or Lithium batteries, it would be fine to check in..

Here are a few DPV (seascooter) transport options:

SEA DOO Seascooter Carry Bag

Seadoo Explorer Rolling Carry Bag

I don't think you're required to put a seadoo seascooter in these bags

This Pelican case is amazing but you may need to break it down depending on size:
Pelican 1690 with 1" thick foam liner carrying case

The SeaDoo and all other lead acid battery scooters use a SEALED lead acid battery which is fine (although insanely heavy) for air travel. A "wet" lead acid battery is like the ones in a car which can't be tipped upside down without spilling acid.
