BlackTip Scooter Series
(battery packs not included)(including shipping cost from USA to Belgium)

The BlackTip dive scooter is now available in three models: the original, compact and lightweight TRAVEL scooter, the neutral and trim TECH scooter, and the EXPLORATION scooter for those who push the limits.

The original BlackTip (now the Travel) was designed to be a low-cost recreational and travel scooter. To that end, it had to be lightweight and work with any and all battery packs. Trim was not possible within these design constraints. Now with many users preferring the larger packs and less concerned about ultimate portability, we can offer the fully trim BlackTip Tech for divers who are okay with a bigger scooter and limiting themselves to 9 and 12 Ah packs only.

With our newest product release, Dive Xtras is bringing high performance underwater scooters to the market at prices never before thought possible! The BlackTip is available in three models, depending on your diving style.


BlackTip Travel - Our Recreational Powerhouse! - Real Power, real small

The Travel is the smallest and lightest, and weighing in at just 24 lbs with travel friendly batteries it is perfect for the diver who likes to fly!

Weighing in at just 24lbs, the BlackTip Travel combines the best of Dive Xtra’s powerful scooter performance with a lower cost and more travel-friendly design.

If you travel a large amount and weight is critical, then the Travel model is still your best choice. It is the smallest and lightest BlackTip model. It does not float trim in the water, but it can be made neutral.

  • Our most compact scooter design
  • Lightweight design
  • Uses 2x 5Ah, 6Ah, 9Ah, or 12Ah DCB batteries

BlackTip Tech - Fun meets function - Trim & Neutral Out of the Box

With a fully trimmed out scooter body, the BlackTip Tech is ready for anything! Tackle any technical dive with ease, thanks to our longer, balanced scooter design.

If weight and length are not critical and you would like a scooter that floats trim, the Tech model is the best choice.  It works best with 9 and 12Ah batteries, floats trim and neutral, and comes with an integral fresh/saltwater trim plate.

BlackTip Exploration - Longer scooter, longer runtime

With a longer body tube supporting double the battery capacity, the BlackTip Exploration takes our BlackTip’s design further than ever before. The Exploration fits four 9 or 12 Ah batteries for double the range and runtime of the other scooters. It also floats trim and neutral out of the box and comes with an integral freshwater / saltwater trim plate.

If you need longer duration than the other models, then the Exploration is the best choice.  It’s a lot bigger and heavier, but fits four 9/12Ah batteries for double the range and runtime of the other batteries. It’s definitely a lot more scooter than you need for tech and recreational dives, but if you push the limits of dive duration, this is the scooter for you.

  • Extended tube design
  • Neutral & trim
  • Uses 4x 9Ah or 12Ah DCB batteries

Safe Start

Activating the BlackTip outside of water will trigger a new feature known as ‘safe start’. The BlackTip  propeller will start in a low-power, slow-turning mode if it detects it is not in water. This helps to prevent unintended damage to your scooter or equipment while not actively diving. When the propeller detects water resistance, it will automatically switch to normal operating mode.

Batteries

The BlackTip is powered by a pair of commonly-found power tool batteries installed directly into the body. This makes the scooter easy to charge and even easier to extend the length of your dive by swapping out batteries on the fly. The BlackTip accepts 20v (USA only) or 18v DCB-format power tool batteries. These can be purchased at retailers worldwide.

These batteries are generally travel friendly, as the larger capacity batteries have a shipping/travel clip that separates the battery unit into smaller cells to keep them under TSA/IATA limits.

LED Display

The BlackTip features a built-in LED display screen. The screen displays:

  • Current speed setting.
  • Battery level.
  • Battery errors from battery depletion or voltage inconsistency.

Travel

Your BlackTip can be taken on all commercial flights. By utilizing removable and compact power tool batteries, the BlackTip keeps within the TSA/IATA air travel limits on lithium batteries. While all three models share this feature, the added size and weight of the Tech and Exploration scooters make them less ideal for flying. For the jet-setting diver, the BlackTip Travel’s compact size combined with its weight of only 24lbs make it our most travel-friendly option!

Trigger & Speed

During normal operation in water, the BlackTip features eight speed modes. To activate the scooter, press the thumb trigger twice. The BlackTip will briefly engage ‘safe start’ mode to detect whether it is in water, then will switch to normal operation mode and start in speed 3 (known as ‘cruise speed’). Once your BlackTip is running, pressing the thumb trigger twice will accelerate the scooter by one speed, and pressing the trigger once will slow the scooter down by one speed. If you are out of water, the BlackTip will only operate in ‘safe start’ mode.

Silent Operation

Dive Xtras is constantly refining and improving our products. The BlackTip now features new drive firmware, with silent operation! Incredibly quiet and more efficient than ever! The following video shows a comparison of the original BlackTip vs the new silent version.

Programmable Drive

Your BlackTip’s drive is fully programmable. Using a windows PC and the free software you can change settings and update firmware. Settings you can change include:

  • Number Of Gears
  • Speed or Each Gear
  • Acceleration Rate

Buoyancy

All three BlackTip models can be made neutral and/or trim with a combination of batteries and weights. Only the Tech and Exploration models can be made neutral and trim. The Travel model will always float in a nose-up trim, which will be more significant with the larger 9 and 12 Ah batteries than with the smaller 4, 5, or 6 Ah batteries. While this may surprise some experienced scooter divers, when underway it does not affect scooter handling or diver buoyancy and is not a concern for most recreational divers. Some divers have reported a preference for making their BlackTip Travel 2-3 lbs negative to make it trim rather than neutral.

Saltwater / Freshwater Trim Weight Plate

The BlackTip Tech and Exploration also includes a removable weighted plate to balance out your scooter when diving in saltwater. It can be easily removed to adapt to freshwater, making balancing your BlackTip a breeze!

Universal Carry Handle

Your scooter is designed to carry you with ease underwater, but what about when you’re on dry ground? This Universal Carry Handle makes all of that easier by giving you a convenient carrying handle to simply and easily show your scooter how we landlubbers do it while on two feet! (Included with all BlackTip Tech and Exploration models)

Does NOT Include batteries or charger
