On 22nd and 23rd of october 2016 Bonex & Aqua Prop were present on DIVE 2016 in Birmingham on the booth of UK distributor Sea & Sea. Numerous people visited the fair halls – according to the statement of Sea & Sea a lot more than in the last year! The star of the fair was the power-package Aqua Prop which caught the interest of the visitors. Also international press like Diver Magazine and Scubaverse were on the place.

On the 8th and 9th of october Bonex was on the place at Eurotek – Advanced Diving Conference in Birmingham, United Kingdom and showed and received a lot of new Input! Our distribution Manager Mike Cristiani was enthusiastic about the great feedback!

On the weekend of 8th of october, divers had the possibility to test two Aqua Prop Scooter in Nordhausen with www.erlebnistauchen.com. Again the divers were surprised of the power of the little Aqua Prop.
Following a little reportage and the video of the event:

“On 08th of october we went diving to Nordhausen, equipped with two Aqua Prop Scooter. Because of the ligt weight of 6 kg, getting in the water is very easy to handle. Under water we stayed at first in the 10 meters area, before we tried the DPV on the distance. I was very surprised of the speed of the small Aqua prop – I did not expect such a great boost! Our bubbles left horizontal and we passed by the fish very quickly :-).
On both levels the speed convinced, me personally I would like to have one more slower speed level.”

Thanks a lot for the great video!

On the 8th of october at Achensee, Austria a further Test-Event from “Tauchen-in-Tirol” with Dieter Kuchling took place. The participants were enthusiastic – following the report of the event:
Bonex Scooter Testevent – with “Tauchen in Tirol” on the Achensee.
On the Test-Event at Achensee all participants had a lot of fun, and despite of the cold weather the divers were as often in the water that all models were tested extensive – from the AquaProp (with its light weight of 6 kg) up to the Reference Models. To get warm again an After-Dive-Beer and diving-stories were offered in the bar next door.

Thanks a lot to Dieter Kuchling for this successful Test-Event

On 23. – 25. of september our norwegian distributor organized their yearly BONEX Scooter Test-Event!
This time the dives took place on the famous Gulen wreck site on the west-coast of Norway with a group of dedicated technical divers!
It was great success – thank you for this nice picture!

From Friday, August 19 to Sunday, August 21, the 10 th anniversary of the Taucherkessel in Löbejün took place. Of course, Bonex was also there with the numerous attending representatives from industry and dive training.

Dry suits, rebreather and our Bonex and AquaProp Scooter were the most desired test objects.

17 curious Scooter divers waited politely in the queue and rewarded us afterwards with great photos and exciting underwater adventures.
However, at the end of the day, one diver was missing, and with him one of our AquaProps! Should I have been so wrong about him? From my experience, divers are honest, sincere contemporaries! Always! All of them! Time passed and the participants a nice time with beer for free. Nevertheless, me, I was disappointed…
But suddenly HE WAS BACK; back with the AquaProp, laughing and enthusiastic. “I won´t give it back! I’ll take it immediately to Berlin,” he said and paid via mobile phone bank transfer right at the place.
Therefore, my worldview remained intact and a convincing reason for having another draft beer we had on top!
On Sunday, the sun shone as bright as our test-divers. Klaus Diersch invited me, to have a look at the diving place from above in his helicopter. The flight, a long-cherished dream, surpassed all my expectations and was a crowning this successful weekend.
