HALCYON SCOOTERS

The long wait has ended with Halcyon's new diving scooters entered the European market in June 2010.

Halcyon divers have a long history of using diver propulsion vehicles to explore some of the most remote and extreme aquatic environments around the globe.  This history along with countless hours “on the trigger” has culminated in two collaborative dive vehicle designs that represent a superior blend of performance and reliability in addition to the right balance of speed, thrust and power consumption.

The new Halcyon Dive Vehicles (HDV) have the appropriate mix of features needed to cruise your favourite reef, cover bow to stern on your favourite wreck and push the end of the line in virgin cave. Whether your dives are decidedly recreational or progressively more extreme, Halcyon offers a Dive Vehicle that is suited to your particular diving style with simple intuitive functionality, effortless maneuverability, compact design, easy adjustment for fresh/salt water use and a world class warranty that comes complete with worldwide support and service.

DirDirect is a world-leading online dive shop run by Underwater Explorers based in Portland, Dorset, UK. Underwater Explorers is a dive centre with a striking difference. It was born out of the concept of "Hogarthian" diving, safe and streamlined equipment configuration, using the most robust products available for recreational and technical diving -- but at the same time, keeping it simple. It is based on the concept of "less is more" in diving and acts as an equipment outlet, training facility and source of sound advice.

Thank you for the excelent service and reasonable prices! I will highly recommend your store to my friends.
