The British technology firm CudaJet has recently introduced the updated version of its groundbreaking underwater jetpack, which the company proudly markets as the world’s first device of its kind. This sophisticated apparatus is designed to radically redefine human interaction with the aquatic environment, delivering an experience often compared to soaring through the air, but beneath the surface. It achieves this by masterfully blending an advanced, high-efficiency propulsion system with the user’s natural body movements.
The CudaJet unit is immediately available for global acquisition via the manufacturer’s official web store. The 2025 model boasts a suite of significant performance upgrades. When fully engaged, the device enables the user to reach a maximum speed of 3 meters per second, which equates to approximately 6.7 miles per hour. Control is achieved through an intuitive system based on shifting the user’s center of gravity and subtle body tilts, complemented by a wired manual controller that allows for precise thrust modulation. Unlike conventional aquascooters, which must be held by hand, the CudaJet is securely mounted on the back, offering superior freedom of maneuverability.
The engineering specifications confirm the CudaJet’s status as a premium piece of submersible technology. The jetpack is certified for operation at impressive depths, rated up to 40 meters. The unit itself weighs approximately 14 kilograms. Its power source consists of two integrated jet engines that generate a substantial combined thrust of 40 kilograms.
The development process leading to this commercial product was rigorous and spanned seven years. The concept originated with the Cuda prototype, initially conceived by British enthusiast Archie O'Brien. CudaJet engineers took this foundational work and refined it into a viable commercial product. The first market-ready version of the CudaJet was officially released in 2023, paving the way for the current, enhanced 2025 model.
The 2025 edition features an optimized lithium-ion battery system, dramatically increasing its endurance. The operational time on a single charge now reaches up to 90 minutes. Despite this extended runtime, the device requires only 75 minutes for a complete recharge cycle. Given its specialized nature and custom manufacturing process, the CudaJet is positioned at an exclusive price point, listed at approximately 30,619 USD, reflecting its status as high-end, bespoke equipment.
The standard purchase package for the updated version now includes several essential components: a durable hard case designed for safe transportation, a specialized fast charging adapter, and a comprehensive two-year warranty. Crucially, the utility of the CudaJet extends beyond recreational diving. It is poised to become an indispensable tool for various professional fields, including marine biologists, specialized recreational divers, underwater cinematography operators, and critical rescue services. Ultimately, this device aims to minimize the physical limitations imposed by the ocean, making the vast underwater world significantly more accessible for both exploration and professional endeavors.
