Abstract:
An underwater propulsion system is disclosed comprising a foot board with one or more battery-powered propulsion units. A throttle control system may be enabled in the foot board such that a movement of the user's foot controls the throttle. Flattened Lithium batteries allow thin lightweight construction of the foot board. Use of trolling motors as propulsion units provides thrust advantages over pre-existing underwater scooters.

Claim (Index 1):
An underwater propulsion device comprising:\n (a) a foot board; (b) a battery sealed in a watertight compartment that is integrated with said foot board; (c) a battery-powered underwater propulsion unit attached to said footboard and connected to said battery by a watertight connection; (d) an attachment structure on said foot board for allowing mounting of a user's foot; (e) a throttle control system integrated with said foot board that allows the throttle of said propulsion unit to be controlled by a movement of said user's foot; (f) wherein said propulsion unit includes an electric motor contained within a watertight casing, and wherein the negative space within said casing is filled with oil.
