ok use it at the pool today it was awesome had no problems

took it home to recharge the batter now i cant get the freaking thing off
errr theres no pressure release valve on these

how did you guys get yours off?

 

[konadiverII]

Had the same experience, just need to muscle it. We had to get a few guys, two holding the base, two pulling real hard to break the vacuum seal. It's not fun, but we made it work by shear force. Someone should tell them to design a pressure release valve, it would certainly make it easier.

I just posted this this when the question was asked on a previous thread:

I attached the instructions for nose cone removal for the SeaDoo Seascooter Explorer from the owners manual: (if it's really tough you can roll it on the latch)

I have upgraded from 2 VS models to 2 Explorers and have a couple questions. How can you tell which manufacturer you have as far as build date? Mine are made by DAKA which I am guessing are the older ones. Can that be upgraded before problems occur? I have used one of them with no problems.

The "tow rope" you have made hooks to what on your body? Are you wearing a crotch harness/belt or hooking to weight belt or BCD which doesn't make sense to me safety wise.

Can't speak for others but all the scooter users I know have a crotch strap with a D ring on their BP/W. I'm sure you could devise something similar for a jacket style BCD.

Another option is this Dive Xtras - Dive Xtras

 

[Eyematey]

Yes, I have seen the Dive X was just wondering about alternatives or DIY solutions. Attaching to BCD without a crotch belt seems like it would pull BC forward and not to good an idea. Back plate kind of a different game.

 

[Mattleycrue76]

You can sew a crotch strap to your BCD if you're handy with a sewing machine. Or you can just come over to the dark side

If the Sea Doo Seascooter Explorers you have are DAKA they are the older version as DAKA no longer manufactures them.

Just got my replacement board for my VS - Seems to have gotten a little salt water in the control section - a reason not to keep it standing up I guess . I tried to seal it a little better - time will tell. Won't be able to dive till the following weekend.
