A powered watercraft (1) for support and surface-transport of a user lying prone. The watercraft (1) has a hull (3) formed by a moulded shell (20) of expanded plastics strengthened by a metal framework (27) which extends lengthwise of the hull. The framework (27) has two arms (29) that extend laterally to hand-grips (10) on either side of the hull (3). The watercraft (1) is steered by shifting of the user's weight to one side or the other while gripping the hand-grips. The craft (1) is powered by an electric motor (5) coupled to a rearwardly-facing shrouded-propeller (4) on an underside (6) of the shell (20). Electronic motor controls are housed in a watertight metal box (31) incorporated into the framework (27), and motor-speed is regulated via lever mechanisms (9) at the hand-grips. Heat is dissipated via a heat-sink plate (42) exposed directly to the flow through the duct (7).

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.

The application relates to a connection interface for underwater applications, in particular for water sport equipment, including a connection unit for transmitting data and having a charging coil for inductively transmitting energy to a similar connection interface, the connection unit being designed as an optical connection unit, in particular as an infrared connection unit, for transmitting and/or receiving an optical signal.

A handheld propulsion unit for use by a user in and under water is disclosed. The handheld propulsion unit includes a tubular shaped housing assembly having a forward and rearward end. A channel defined by the tubular shaped housing assembly allows a flow of water to move through the tubular shaped housing assembly. At least one frame member connected to the tubular shaped housing attaches an electric motor within the channel such that the electric motor is coaxially aligned with the channel. A propeller coaxially coupled directly to a rotating part of the electric motor eliminates a drive transfer assembly or a drive transfer housing from spanning the channel. Hand grips on the tubular shaped housing assembly are configured for being held by the user and allowing the user to maneuver a thrust provided by the flow of water through the channel when the propeller is operating.
