I am deathly afraid of submarines, but am willing to take a risk and ride in the new AquaStar AS2. The AquaStar AS2 is a two-person [undersea scooter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kikfin) that lets you safely and leisurely explore the ocean.

The AquaStar AS2 can dive up to 37 feet deep, hit speeds of up to 5 miles per hour and has a [battery life](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/highperformance-electric-scooter) quoted at two hours. The scooter has its own on-board oxygen, which itself lasts an hour and 10 minutes. I'll be the first to admit that the AquaStar AS2 looks a little silly from a design standpoint, but I doubt many people will stop to poke fun at this scooter's odd shape when they see it cruising past them underwater. Best of all, perhaps, is that [no diving certification is required](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/awake-rvik-explore) to pilot the AquaStar AS2, making it newbie-friendly. Looks like this submarine neophyte is about to get it wet.
