LEFEET - Reviews and experiences

a solid buy, glad I chose it. I've used the LEFEET S1 for about two and a half years and it kept me diving — I'm in my late seventies and still get in the water. I first saw it at my local dive shop after a buddy suggested it. Support answered quickly when I needed spare parts, so I'm happy overall.

it’s negatively buoyant and sinks fast, so you have to keep a firm grip. That gets annoying when you want to frame photos or hover over coral — feels clumsy and a bit risky for the reef and the scooter. I’m wondering if Lefeet makes a float or attachment to fix that. Otherwise, decent performance for casual dives.

on the low settings it’s whisper-quiet and I could actually hold my position against a mild current, which made shooting wider reef shots way easier. Still, there’s a snag: it’s noticeably negatively buoyant. It sinks if you let go, so I ended up clutching it the whole time while trying to frame photos — clumsy, and not great for the coral or the unit. Does Lefeet sell floats or a buoyancy kit? I’d buy that, I think.

the two-handle screw cap can work itself slightly loose after a few outings, so I check it before every dive; maybe an O-ring would fix that. I also mislaid the throttle on a trip to the Maldives and, luckily, a buddy let me use his — pairing the throttle was shockingly simple, no fuss. It also helps if you have knee issues or aren't great at finning, gives you more confidence. Not perfect, but reliable, and it’s become part of my regular kit for recreational dives and training days.

the two-handle screw cap can loosen if you don’t check it. Maybe an O-ring would help. Overall I’m pleasantly surprised — feels reliable, fun and a real enabler for slower swimmers or folks with knee trouble.
