Housing and seals

Housing

The high quality Scooter housing is made of aluminium, Delrin and carbon. The nose is made of Delrin (or POM) for good impact strength. This takes hard knocks without lasting deformation even at low temperatures. The back is made of aluminium for reasons of stability and better heat dissipation. A hard anodising improves the corrosion protection. The tube is made of the high performance material, carbon. This not only offers an even, corrosion-resistant surface but is also extremely pressure stable at low weight. Therefore Bonex can also guarantee a diving depth of an impressive 200 m.

Housing seal

The housing is sealed from the nose and the propulsion unit by redundant, radial O-rings. The Scooter therefore remains neutrally trimmed at any depth as the diver descends. Shallow water leaks as with an axial seal are practically ruled out.

Locking system

The Bonex locking system is located centrally in the nose. This dispenses with the need for housing snap catches. It is opened and closed quickly and reliably by releasing the central lock. Interior ventilation compensates for pressure fluctuations.
