undoubtedly one of the coolest things
0:02
I've been asked to do recently is to
0:04
review the Zhaoong aquatic jetpack It's
0:08
an incredible thing and a whole lot of
0:11
fun But to review it we thought we'd do
0:13
something different which is why we're
0:16
here in Sanford and Down which is
0:17
Plymouth's finest dive shop And this is
0:20
Vic who runs the place And over here is
0:22
my guinea pig to for today This is my
0:24
mate Will Hello So Will what have we got
0:27
going on today so in front of me I have
0:30
got the opportunity to open up the Ziao
0:32
Ton aquatic Jetpack And as its name
0:35
suggests and the generally great big
0:37
grin on my face I'm rather excited and
0:40
feeling like a child at Christmas So
0:42
without further ado let's get into this
0:44
cuz I'm going to take it for a spin in
0:46
the water
0:56
[Laughter]
0:59
Oh wow Okay that looks pretty awesome So
1:03
what does this go then so that's going
1:05
to go on my back like a jetpack And it's
1:11
got two
1:14
jets on either side This is going to be
1:17
incredible Can we go and play at the
1:18
waterfront now please please please
1:19
please I want to play with it in the
1:20
water It's only five minutes away please
1:23
So Sanford and down is about 20 m behind
1:27
me and the waterfront is about 100
1:30
meters in front of me and this is rather
1:34
exciting This aquatic jetpack is not too
1:39
heavy I've got on my back my day sag
1:42
with the fins mask
1:46
my dry kit as you can see on my left
1:49
shoulder my trusty snorkel
1:54
And we arrived
1:58
So see how much trouble and fun
2:03
excitement and adventure we can get into
2:05
with this
2:09
I call it nerves bit of trepidation Most
2:13
of it's utter excitement though it's got
2:15
to be said
2:20
Another busy day in the waterfront car
2:22
park Cracking place for a beer hot
2:25
chocolate or a nice meal
2:34
And again Bloom seafront spectacular as
2:37
it is always
2:41
Let's have a go at this then Okay Will
2:44
tell us tell us what how you feeling now
2:47
Um I'm kind of excited It's looking an
2:50
absolutely exciting day in Plymouth Uh
2:52
this is the first time to try this
2:53
system out So uh yeah can't wait to give
2:56
it a go Let's see Show us what you got
2:58
on the back
3:00
So that is a beauty isn't it the aquatic
3:04
jetpack Let's have a go and see if this
3:07
thing works like it should Show us where
3:09
we're going Will We're going straight
3:11
down there and we're going to play about
3:13
in the harbor here Maximum depth about 3
3:15
m Looking forward to this This is going
3:17
to be incredible So quite often with
3:19
these things they're staged or people
3:21
have had rehearsals or or whatever This
3:23
is literally Will's first time with this
3:26
in the water So he's never never used it
3:29
before He's not been in a swimming pool
3:31
at all He's a bit concerned cuz he
3:33
wanted to he wanted to put his fins on
3:34
but I told him he couldn't have his fins
3:37
And big big hand of respect to Will
3:39
because you know this this is a piece of
3:43
kit that has he's never seen before He's
3:45
never had a go with it He's all he's got
3:48
on is his mask and his snorkel and he's
3:51
uh he's in the waterfront harbor here So
3:54
let's uh let's let's see how he gets on
3:57
And uh there he is He's off You can see
3:58
the jetack You can see the jets going
4:00
And something we realized pretty quickly
4:02
is what you need to do is duck dive But
4:05
um there you go He's off his very first
4:07
go You see he he got he got that to work
4:11
And there he is still alive Uh what you
4:14
may not have seen is that a little
4:16
handheld controller with this thing that
4:18
you it's got a trigger on You could you
4:21
press it to go There's a few other
4:22
buttons There's a few different modes
4:24
you can change it round in You can use
4:25
it to go left and right and all sorts of
4:27
things But here you go Here he is The
4:29
man of the moment coming zooming towards
4:31
us and uh and straight underneath me
4:33
there which is which is really really
4:37
cool And there he is up to the surface
4:39
So what I'm going to do now is uh we
4:41
decided we want to get some underwater
4:43
footage So obviously I'm wearing scuba
4:45
gear So I'm going to sit on the bottom
4:46
and wait for the man of the moment to
4:48
come uh to come zooming past And uh and
4:51
here he is Look at him Look at him go
4:53
That is super super impressive So that
4:57
is only whatever it is the second dive
4:59
he's he's ever done or the second or
5:01
third or whatever it is you know That is
5:03
uh that is really impressive stuff And
5:06
because he's absolutely mad for it here
5:08
he comes again Look at him go That's
5:11
incredible stuff But what we do at this
5:15
point is we decide snorkeling's great
5:17
but we really want to see how it is with
5:19
scuba gear Now I'm told that it is going
5:22
to be possible to buy a 2 L cylinder
5:24
with this Uh we haven't got one so we
5:27
kind of jewelry rigged this little uh uh
5:29
cylinder of our own there And you can
5:31
see Will's got a set of regs You can see
5:32
the controller there in his in his left
5:34
hand and he's going to get in and give
5:37
it another go and see how he gets on
5:39
He's if I'm honest he's much happier
5:41
Neither of us are really keen snorkelers
5:43
but diving gear now that's uh that's a
5:46
game changer So once again Will's never
5:49
been underwater with a jetpack in this
5:51
configuration So uh but there off he
5:54
goes and he vanishes into the water He's
5:58
uh he's having a fantastic time Although
6:00
we decide we need to up the ante a
6:02
little bit more So we give him a a
6:04
selfie stick with a with an action
6:07
camera on And once again uh you see he's
6:10
changed his hands there He's got the
6:11
selfie stick in the left hand He's got
6:13
the controller in his right hand And any
6:16
moment now there he goes He is off You
6:20
can see that he's uh he's making some
6:23
decent speed which is really impressive
6:26
Although he still quite fancies having
6:28
fins on I think one of the things that
6:31
we found is uh is when you breathe out
6:33
the uh it sometimes goes into the uh the
6:37
air that comes out of your exhaust valve
6:38
sometimes comes out into the intake of
6:41
the uh of the jetpack which does kind of
6:43
momentarily pause it You can work your
6:45
way through it And you can see that's uh
6:47
that is what Will's doing there Having a
6:50
huge huge amount of fun
6:54
And I had fins on I had scuba gear on
6:57
and I can tell you when he went full
6:59
wackiness I couldn't I couldn't keep up
7:01
with him But uh there he goes Now
7:05
obviously this is this Plymouth So the
7:07
the visibility isn't super fabulous but
7:09
you can see there he's just utterly
7:11
vanished And at this point I lose him We
7:14
were going to go and take it down a bit
7:15
deeper He goes to 6 m Um I can't follow
7:18
him So here we go You're going to have a
7:20
bit of of will cam here Uh you can see
7:23
there he's got the uh the trigger and
7:24
the controller in his left hand You can
7:26
see me behind there trying to get some
7:28
video And uh off he goes And this is
7:33
absolutely Will in his element He's
7:35
going to come past and and buzz me in a
7:37
second Then he's going to uh he's going
7:39
to head off and vanish into the distance
7:42
Um there you go You can see me trying to
7:45
trying to keep it trying to keep in
7:46
touch with him He's also braver than me
7:48
He's got a wet suit on I've got my uh
7:50
I've got my dry suit on But here he goes
7:53
He's uh I think he got down to 6 m uh
7:56
with the uh with the jetpack without any
7:58
problems at all The only issue was that
7:59
he only had that that small cylinder of
8:01
gas So round about now it's starting to
8:04
get tight to breathe So he he decides
8:07
that discretion is the better part of
8:08
valor and uh he's going to uh he's going
8:11
to cease at this point Fortunately he's
8:14
uh he knows where he is So he's he's
8:16
going to come up close to the steps And
8:18
in fact there they are So nice high
8:21
water here in Plymouth so most of the
8:23
steps are underwater
8:25
Will uh Will loves a camera so he's
8:27
making sure that he's got plenty of uh
8:29
of good good footage of himself Probably
8:32
also wondering where I am Didn't think
8:34
for one moment I'm sure that I couldn't
8:36
keep up with him blasting along on the
8:38
uh on the jetpack there But um yeah so
8:41
that's uh that's the end that's the end
8:43
of his trial
8:48
That is incredible That is amazing That
8:54
is fun Awesome Superb Brilliant All the
9:00
good words to be said
9:04
And there is our Dominic Robinson
9:08
Mr Deep
9:10
That is brilliant That is great fun
9:14
That is an amazing Kickstarter concept
9:17
idea and it's been brilliant to try that
9:20
in the UK Buzzing Absolutely buzzing
9:24
That was spectacular That was great fun
9:27
Exciting It feels like a jetpack It's on
9:30
your back You've got control over
9:32
yourself and you just fly through the
9:34
water It's exactly what it feels like as
9:36
you could imagine in space Zero gravity
9:40
Superb That was just wonderful Great And
9:43
how fast was it Will that's what we all
9:45
want to know Put it like this It felt
9:48
like you were going through a very
9:50
strong current Think Komodo Palao molded
9:53
style strength of current That's how it
9:55
felt against you if you were holding on
9:57
for dear life It was that was awesome
10:00
And how deep did he take it oh so we
10:03
just well I just went out the other side
10:05
of Rusty Ridge So I got to about six and
10:07
a half seven mters and you can see the
10:09
fish swimming trying to keep up with you
10:11
cuz they couldn't work out what you were
10:12
That was that was great fun Yeah
10:14
Bouncing buzzing everything So you've
10:17
heard how much fun this is You've seen
10:20
it in action A few stats It produces 200
10:23
ntons of thrust which I'm told is far
10:25
more than uh similar things You can go
10:28
down to 20 meters in it if you wish The
10:31
controller you can use in your left or
10:33
or right hand The jacket comes in
10:35
different sizes So whatever your frame
10:37
is you can find one to suit And I think
10:40
you can easily swap the jetpack from one
10:42
to the other And if you want to get hold
10:45
of one of these things and who wouldn't
10:47
you can find them on Kickstarter I'll
10:50
put the links in the uh description but
10:53
I'm going to have to leave the final
10:54
word to Will So will would you do that
10:57
again yeah Yeah definitely It would be
11:00
really nice to do it in proper crystal
11:02
clear waters If you could have that out
11:05
somewhere plow molds Philippines that is
11:08
where you want it You could be chasing
11:10
dolphins You could be chasing anything
11:12
you want to with this equipment It's
11:14
incredible Really good fun Really
11:17
enjoyable
11:18
Good
11:20
