2.2 Operation area
The SEABOB should only be used in sheltered waters.
Sheltered waters are defined as sheltered coastal waters,
small bays, small lakes, rivers and canals when conditions
of up to, and including, wind force 4 and significant wave
heights up to, and including, 0.3 m / 1 ft may be experi-
enced, with occasional waves of 0.5 m / 1.5 ft maximum
height, for example from passing vessels.
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 electric-powered wa-
tercraft is prohibited by local laws, community regula-
tions, nature conservation laws or other provisions. You
are urged to observe all local laws and regulations. For
more information, you should inquire at the appropriate
local offices.
2.1 Registration papers / driver's license
The present law in some countries does not require
registration papers or a driver's license for operation of
watercraft. Some countries, however, may have different
license regulations, age limits or operating restrictions.
Before operating the craft, always inquire about the local
regulations, which may be in effect in the area where
you wish to operate the SEABOB. We urge all SEABOB
operators to be informed themselves about the laws and
regulations in the countries in which they will be using
the SEABOB. The manufacturer does not assume any re-
sponsibility for providing such information.
