Are seabreachers safe?
Risks when using a Seabreacher Operators have limited ability to determine whether underwater obstructions exist prior to undertaking any diving. Collision damage can reduce a Seabreacher’s ability to float which may result in the vessel sinking. The Seabreacher is positively buoyant and needs speed in order to dive, which means the engine needs to be running and needs fresh air to breathe. The moment you dive too deep, the engine’s air supply is cut off and the engine immediately loses power, however, it will always pop back to the surface.Risks when using a Seabreacher Operators have limited ability to determine whether underwater obstructions exist prior to undertaking any diving.

How do Seabreachers work?
So, how does the Seabreacher work? Seabreachers are jet-powered like a jetski and are piloted using using hand sticks and pedals. Just like a plane, the pilot controls the pitch, yaw and roll of the craft. The pedals orientate the jet nozzles and the hand sticks move the Seabreacher’s wings. It is surprisingly quick to pick up the basic operation of the Seabreacher and learn to navigate on the surface. Prolonged dives and other tricks take a little longer to master, but most pilots are proficient in a couple of days. The controls can be compared to an airplane with 3-axis; pitch, roll, and yaw.
Can a Seabreacher do barrel rolls?
SEABREACHER FEATURES: This allows the vessel to carve left and right, jump over, dive under, and cut though the waves. Our latest model is even capable of 360 degree barrel rolls on the water! Speaking of performance, the Seabreacher can dive 5-ft deep for short durations, leap 12 ft into the air, and do barrel rolls, among other tricks. The X can do a 360° barrel roll, but you have to hit it at just the right speed, about 20 to 25 mph, otherwise the dorsal fin interferes,” says Innes.
