About the F5 SR

The F5 SR is the performance model in SEABOB's long-running F5 underwater-scooter range. Its 4.5 kW E-Jet system draws water through an impeller and produces up to 745 N of thrust, controlled through seven electronic power levels. Two rear fins help directional stability, while the central colour display reports speed setting, battery state, remaining operating time, depth and water temperature. The SR package also includes SEABOB's camera system for recording above and below the surface and transferring footage over Wi-Fi. At about 35 kg, this is substantial equipment to lift on deck even though it is buoyant in the water, and its claimed 40 m maximum depth should only be approached with proper training and within local rules. It suits yacht programs and experienced recreational users who have secure charging, handling and storage arrangements.

Best For

Yacht owners wanting a premium underwater scooter
Experienced swimmers and divers seeking high thrust
Operators with suitable lifting, charging and secure storage

Performance in Context

SEABOB states up to 22 km/h at the surface and 20 km/h underwater, with seven power levels and a 40 m maximum dive depth when configured accordingly. Those are maximum claims, not a substitute for training or conservative depth limits. Speed, runtime and safe depth depend on the rider, power setting, water and local regulation.

Battery and Charging

The official technical data lists a 2.0 kWh, 48 V accumulator and about 70 minutes of average operation. Standard charging takes about eight hours; the optional quick charger reduces that to about 90 minutes. Confirm the charger voltage and marina electrical arrangements, and follow SEABOB's ventilation, cooling and storage requirements.

Availability and Pricing

F5 SR remains represented in SEABOB's model and price materials, but pricing varies by country, tax and finish. The official published references have listed approximately €14,565 net to €16,895 including German VAT, while regional distributors may quote differently. Confirm current local price, delivery, camera specification and authorized service coverage before ordering.
