The SEABOB is a water-sports craft powered by an elec-
tric jet drive. The craft is not equipped with navigational
lights and is designed to carry one person both on and
below the surface of the water. The craft is intended for
use in water that is at least 1 m deep. The SEABOB is
highly resistant to seawater and suitable for use in both
fresh water and salt water. The device is constructed sole-
ly of materials that are non-rusting and highly resistant
to corrosion. The following regulations apply to opera-
tion of the SEABOB:
2.1 Operation on the water surface
• Users of the craft must be at least 16 years old and
good swimmers. People who cannot swim are not al-
lowed to use the SEABOB.
• Minors 16 and over may only operate the SEABOB
under the supervision and responsibility of an adult.
• The SEABOB is not designed for use as a swimming
aid. Users may lose the craft in the water. The SEABOB
is not a substitute for a life jacket, air pad or other
such device. For this reason, you should wear a life
jacket when away from the shore or boat.
• The SEABOB has a maximum output of 5.2 kW /
7 HP. The present law in some countries does not re-
quire registration papers or a driving licence for op-
eration of watercraft having this output. Some coun-
tries, however, may have different licence regulations,
age limits or operating restrictions. Before operating
the craft, always inquire about the local regulations
which may be in force in the area where you wish
to operate the SEABOB. We urge all SEABOB opera-
tors to inform themselves about the situation in the
country in which they will be using the SEABOB. The
manufacturer does not assume any responsibility for
obtaining such information.
• The SEABOB should only be used in sheltered waters.
Sheltered waters are defined as sheltered coastal wa-
ters, small bays, small lakes, rivers and canals when
conditions up to, and including, wind force 4 and
significant wave heights up to, and including, 0,3 m
may be experienced, with occasional waves of 0,5 m
maximum height, for example from passing vessels.
• Do not use the SEABOB in areas occupied by swim-
mers or divers.
• Generally, the SEABOB can be operated in areas
where the use of watercraft powered by combustion
engines is not permitted. Use of the SEABOB is not
permitted wherever the use of watercraft or elec-
tric-powered watercraft is prohibited by local laws,
community regulations, nature conservation laws
