FIRST UNDERWATER JETPACK NOW PROPELS SWIMMERS TO EASILY EXPLORE THE OCEAN

For a long time, the idea of jetpacks has made us fantasise about floating and soaring. These sights are now located somewhere in the water by a firm named CudaJet. The UK-based startup claims to have made the first underwater jetpack in history. Archie O'Brien created the CudaJet, an English-made device that can reach speeds of up to 10 feet per second—faster than any swimmer—and gives up to 90 minutes of untethered, self-powered underwater exploration. The jetpack has a unique propulsion system that is controlled by a handheld controller. The equipment produces thrust, while the user's body provides direction. With its "fast attach" harness technology, the CudaJet can be put on and set up within a few seconds.

Additionally, it's small enough to fit in a backpack, which promotes agility and even enables users to perform barrel rolls in the ocean. Its carbon fibre structure maintains its weight while offering the ideal ratio of strength to flexibility. The harness is composed of premium, eco-friendly neoprene. You must, however, wear a diving mask that covers your nose to prevent sinus injury and safely equalise your ears, which entails balancing the air pressure between your middle ear and the outside world. You can accomplish this in a number of ways, such as by swallowing or yawning.

The CudaJet has a 3-meter (10-foot) limit for safety reasons to keep novice users from going too deep too quickly, even though the jetpack has been tested at depths of up to 131 feet. If this occurs, the jetpack's buoyancy will carry the user to the surface while the power will go off. Even though the system sends out numerous alerts when the battery is low, this also occurs if the motor goes down. With the help of the water's drag, the CudaJet also comes to a stop as soon as the user releases the trigger on the handheld controller.

The CudaJet's primary drawback is that it is only designed to be used for aided free diving; it cannot be worn in conjunction with compressed air sources, like a scuba tank. The company's safety page states, "You must hold your breath and reemerge before needing air." If you're not a professional free diver, you'll need to take breaks while exploring because the record for non-oxygen-assisted static apnea, which involves holding your breath underwater for as long as possible, is 11 minutes 35 seconds for men and 9 minutes 2 seconds for women.

Additional dangers include the need to securely tuck long hair into a bun to prevent it from getting sucked into the input, the requirement that it only be charged with dry connections in a dry environment, and the need to avoid storing it when completely charged. It might be tempting to bring it along on your travels to discover oceans far and wide, but you won't be able to carry it on an aeroplane due to its big lithium batteries.

Priced at £22,500 ($30,620), the base model is marketed as the "ultimate super yacht toy." A rare founder's edition with gold highlights is also available; however, it costs more and can only be ordered by request.
