"How deep can they dive?
About 5 feet for brief durations but generally they go just a few feet below the surface in order to keep the snorkel above the water


Only 5 feet MAX? Get back to me when they can to 20-30 feet with no problem. (deeper would be better.)

yeah it would be cool if they could go about 100ft or so.

but still this would be fun to play with. but i agree it would be great if it could go deep.

Cool! I wonder how water is kept out of the air intake when submerged. The FAQ says the engine will cut out if one tries to dive too deep.

Man, if they could actually dive any great amounts of depth I would imagine people would start crashing into things pronto.

5 feet? So it's like a giant jetski with dolphin shell? No thanks. I think I'll stick with my seadoo watercraft.

LOL! Sweet!

That would be pretty badass.

....Until you got an angry male dolphin that tries to protect its territory. Or perhaps worse, falls in love with you. :D

its very bouyant. it was on the gadget show a while back. when you dive it clearly wants to surface which is why it is able to leap out of the water.


Whoops.. meant to quote, not edit.

That just means it needs a bigger engine; more thrust.

:D

It wouldn't be too hard to fit the thing with some SCUBA gear; one tank for you and one tank for the engine...

Now that would be badass.

???

If you're diving under water, how is the engine going to breathe without an oxygen tank?

Wouldn't even be hard to setup a flow regulator based on throttle position.
