#4Motorized propellers have existed for 20+ years and are routinely used in spearfishing. What the heck is the news!? https://www.amazon.com/Nautica-Skipper-Seascooter/dp/B0BLP9Z...

#5How should one take a turn in a swimming pool with this?

#6Cool. More like an underwater 'monocycle', though. Make it into a full body struct in Y shape acting as kind of both 'guidon' and secondary propulsion axis -- more blades, an underwater tricycle. :)

What about non-motorised propellers?

#8"Seabike says the prop turns slowly enough that you can safely use it at the local pool"
Felt a bit iffy about this claim. But looking at the research it seems cadence lowers normally when cycling under water.[0] Fun device. I wonder which pedals would be best for barefoot riding(?). Maybe those strapped ones fix riders like to use.

#10I wish we could find a good way to bike over the surface of the water. I haven’t seen anything that’s not slow and cumbersome.
