Sea scooter have become a craze in recent years, but the existing Sea scooter all have the same pain point, that is, they are too large and are generally positioned as professional diving equipment, which is not friendly to ordinary diving enthusiasts. Therefore, it is convenient to carry, which is the most urgent need of submersible enthusiasts. The purpose of our project is to transform Sea scooter from professional to recreational.

Underwater thrusters have become a craze in recent years, but the existing thrusters have the same pain point, that is, they are too large and are generally positioned in professional diving equipment, which is not friendly to ordinary diving enthusiasts. Therefore, easy to carry is the most urgent need of submersible enthusiasts. The purpose of our project is to change the underwater thruster from specialization to entertainment.

The design of W-BAT is inspired by bats, because bats can fly freely in dark and dangerous caves, and the small body of the bat can hide a pair of large-area wings, making it fly flexible and stable. This makes us think of whether the Sea scooter can be resized like a bat without affecting its flexibility.
