Your First Dive: How to Safely Ride the ASIWO Manta Underwater Scooter

There’s something magical about the moment you first take the ASIWO Manta into the water.

The sun glints off the waves, you tighten your goggles, grip the scooter handles — and for a split second, there’s that excited nervousness: Will it really pull me? How fast will I go?

Then you press both triggers, and just like that, the Manta hums to life beneath your hands. It doesn’t jerk or jolt; it glides — smooth, steady, and surprisingly powerful. The ocean floor starts to move beneath you, bubbles trailing behind, and you can’t help but smile.

This is what freedom feels like underwater.

Before You Dive: Getting to Know Your Manta

Before you jump straight in, take a little time to familiarize yourself with your new underwater companion. The ASIWO Manta is a lightweight, 3.5 kg (7.7 lbs) scooter designed for easy portability — ideal for travel, beach trips, or just throwing in the trunk for a spontaneous swim.

It’s powered by a lithium-ion battery that provides up to 45 minutes of runtime depending on your speed mode. Charging takes about 2 to 3 hours, so it’s best to fully charge before heading out. While charging, inspect the rubber O-rings inside the battery housing — they’re what keep your scooter completely waterproof.

Once everything looks good, snap the battery in place, check the safety lock, and do a quick button test on land. You’ll notice it only powers on when both handles are pressed — a built-in protection to prevent accidents.

That’s your signal: the Manta is ready to make waves.

Into the Water: Finding Your Flow

When you first step into the water, let the Manta float beside you for a second. That’s right — it floats. Designed with neutral buoyancy, it won’t sink or drift away, which is especially helpful for beginners.

Take a deep breath and gently press both triggers. Instantly, you’ll feel the quiet pull as the dual-motor propulsion system kicks in. With three adjustable speed modes (low, medium, and high), you can start easy and gradually increase your pace as your confidence grows.

At full power, the Manta can reach speeds of around 5.3 km/h (3.3 mph) — not racing fast, but just enough to make you feel like you’re gliding through a dream.

And if you ever let go of a handle, don’t worry — the “dead-man” safety feature immediately shuts the motor off. You’ll simply float back to the surface, safe and sound.

Built for Adventure, Designed for Safety

The ocean is unpredictable — that’s why the Manta is built to handle it.

Its corrosion-resistant materials and IP68 waterproof rating mean it’s ready for saltwater use, and its durable propeller guards keep your hands and fins safe.

It’s rated for dives up to 30 feet (10 meters) deep, which makes it perfect for snorkeling, shallow diving, and reef exploration. It’s not made for deep scuba dives — think of it as your underwater cruising partner rather than a deep-sea tool.

A favorite feature among families is the child safety lock, which ensures young swimmers don’t accidentally power it up on land or in unsafe conditions.

Smart Power, Smooth Control

One of the best things about the ASIWO Manta is how intuitive it feels. The ergonomic dual-handle design gives you natural steering control — tilt slightly to the side to change direction, or level your hands to glide straight.

The power management system is smart, too: if you ride at higher speeds continuously, you’ll notice your battery draining faster (around 30–35 minutes). But in eco or medium mode, you can easily enjoy a full 45-minute session — plenty of time to explore a reef, chase fish, or simply enjoy the peaceful silence beneath the surface.

And if you’re planning a longer outing, investing in a spare battery pack is a great idea. Just swap and go — no downtime required.

Capture the Adventure

If you love sharing your adventures, the Manta’s got you covered. ASIWO Manta Underwater Scooter comes with a built-in GoPro mount, letting you capture cinematic underwater videos of your dives. Whether you’re exploring coral gardens or gliding through clear lagoons, the footage you bring back will be the envy of your feed.

You can even mount a light for twilight swims — though let’s be honest, it’s hard to improve on that natural underwater glow.

After the Dive: Show It Some Love

Once you’ve had your fun, a little aftercare goes a long way. Rinse your Manta thoroughly with freshwater (especially after saltwater use) and let it air dry before storage.

Inspect the seals, propellers, and O-rings regularly to keep everything watertight and running smoothly. When storing the battery, keep it cool, dry, and about 50% charged to extend its lifespan.

It’s just a few minutes of care — but it keeps your adventures worry-free for years to come.

Why the ASIWO Manta Feels Different

There are plenty of underwater scooters out there — but few strike the balance that the Manta does. It’s light enough for beginners, powerful enough for seasoned swimmers, and safe enough for families.

It doesn’t try to be a deep-diving professional device; instead, it’s built for what most of us really want — fun, freedom, and easy underwater exploration.

Whether you’re gliding along a reef in the Maldives or just exploring your local lake, the Manta makes you feel like you’ve unlocked a hidden part of the world.
