BONEX and AquaProp at the SSI Event in Brandenburg, Germany, lake “Grosser Stechlin”

The fabled red cock has a gloomy history. On the Great Stechlin, the fisherman there knows about his misery in gray times. Many boats sunk there during storms, its occupants have been lost forever. We went to the bottom in the truest sense of the word. At the SSI Event we got to see a beautiful underwater world with incredible fish and plant richness. On this 25th of september 2016, the weather was mild and sunny which also left room for activities above water. Next to the lively operation at our AquaProp rental, various representatives of the diving industry were present with small goods and information stands. The diving base provided for a perfectly organized day and spoiled with treats from the barbecue and homemade cake. All our scooter enthusiasts were instructors of the SSI and were able to professionally test our small power packs. So we came home very late this weekend, but had great impressions, nice photos and an invitation for further Bonex and AquaProp test events in the luggage. We would like to thank the organizers of the SSI event and the great dive crew “Großer Stechlin”!

Scooter Test-Event in Nordhausen, Germany with www.erlebnistauchen.com

On the weekend of 8th of october, divers had the possibility to test two Aqua Prop Scooter in Nordhausen with www.erlebnistauchen.com. Again the divers were surprised of the power of the little Aqua Prop.
Following a little reportage and the video of the event:

“On 08th of october we went diving to Nordhausen, equipped with two Aqua Prop Scooter. Because of the ligt weight of 6 kg, getting in the water is very easy to handle. Under water we stayed at first in the 10 meters area, before we tried the DPV on the distance. I was very surprised of the speed of the small Aqua prop – I did not expect such a great boost! Our bubbles left horizontal and we passed by the fish very quickly :-).
On both levels the speed convinced, me personally I would like to have one more slower speed level.”

Thanks a lot for the great video!

Test-Event Bonex & aqua prop in Löbejün, Sachsen-Anhalt, Germany

From Friday, August 19 to Sunday, August 21, the 10 th anniversary of the Taucherkessel in Löbejün took place. Of course, Bonex was also there with the numerous attending representatives from industry and dive training.
Dry suits, rebreather and our Bonex and AquaProp Scooter were the most desired test objects.
17 curious Scooter divers waited politely in the queue and rewarded us afterwards with great photos and exciting underwater adventures.
However, at the end of the day, one diver was missing, and with him one of our AquaProps! Should I have been so wrong about him? From my experience, divers are honest, sincere contemporaries! Always! All of them! Time passed and the participants a nice time with beer for free. Nevertheless, me, I was disappointed…
But suddenly HE WAS BACK; back with the AquaProp, laughing and enthusiastic. “I won´t give it back! I’ll take it immediately to Berlin,” he said and paid via mobile phone bank transfer right at the place.
Therefore, my worldview remained intact and a convincing reason for having another draft beer we had on top!
On Sunday, the sun shone as bright as our test-divers. Klaus Diersch invited me, to have a look at the diving place from above in his helicopter. The flight, a long-cherished dream, surpassed all my expectations and was a crowning this successful weekend.
