Nuova Rade Jointed Aqua Scope - Underwater Viewer & Bathyscope for Kids & Adults - Perfect for Beach, Pool, Lake & Marine Exploration

I bought the Nuovo Rade Aqua scope for my dad for Father’s Day. He operatesThe Andrew Red Harris Foundation volunteer non profit building artificial reefsIn the ocean offshore of South Florida. He liked the scope so much he wanted topost a review, but since I bought the scope he sent me the following to post for him:The scope is great and works as advertised. I used it on Father’s day in 55’ and 30’of water offshore. It gives the same view a snorkeler gets with a dive mask.In response to some of the other comments:2 stars, “should be black”. I agree and based on this review I painted mine black.Works way better black, but not worth a ding to 2 stars. Need to paint it beforeassembling.“tempered glass, I think not”. It is tempered glass.“Difficult to use, you have to apply quite a bit of pressure to get it far enoughinto the water”. Not true. We had three girls use it on our boat and I had totell them they did not need to push it so far down. When I used it I found it’sjust natural to push it deeper than it needs to go.“Black top way too difficult to attach”. It’s a stretch rubber piece over the top of the scope. Has to be tight or it will fall off.“Hard to align sections when assembling”. True, but that’s what happens when you align sections with a large diameter. Just be careful, you only needto do it once.“Glare inside scope”. Need to paint it black.
