How it works

The SUBWING consists of two separate wings connected in a rotatable swivel. By grabbing the grip on each wing, it can easily be controlled in all directions. Maneuvering is done by tilting the wings in different angels. Tilt both wings downwards to dive, and upwards to resurface. If attempting a roll, simply tilt the wings in opposite directions.

Controlling the SUBWING is easy to learn and comes naturally to many first timers. For more experienced SUBWING users, a single hand grip is mounted between the wings at the behind. This is designed to be used when equalizing ear pressure and one hand is needed.

Towing speed

Water is about 800 times denser than air, therefore high speeds are not necessary to achieve a thrilling sensation under water. A towing speed is of around 2-4 knots. This speed is easily achievable by a small boat with an insignificant motor, and is plenty to perform impressive acrobatic maneuvers under water.
