GEAR TESTS: PEGASUS THRUSTER

Tiago Peixoto Little Cayman Beach Resort / Backscatter Resort Photo Pro

The Pegasus Thruster was a game changer! Everything from the ease of assembly to the simple underwater control made it a pleasure to use and make the most of. It took only one dive to get used to how the Thruster works underwater and understand how to maneuver and use its power. The biggest pro for the Pegasus I have personally experienced has to be the ability to go further than other divers and return safely, allowing for exclusive wildlife encounters. On one of the dives with the Pegasus, a Loggerhead Turtle appeared and, in a dive with over 10 eager underwater photographers, its presence had to be shared and it was hard to get a shot with no divers or bubbles in the background. Stepping back from the group of divers, I knew I could hold on until the turtle moved on from the area. I was able to follow it for longer and wait until it had recovered its composure in order to get a close-up shot with no one in the background. Returning to the boat area was a breeze, despite the large distance covered by the turtle. This is a product I would recommend also for the underwater videographer as well as it allows for super smooth video, without the fin-kicking shake being noticeable. All in all, I was surprised by how easy it is to use and how much of an impact it made. Can't wait to get my hands on one!
