With its twin motors and fully proportional radio control, the Explorer-1 dives, ascends and executes "turn-on-a-dime" maneuvers in case you happen upon a pool-dwelling Kraken. The Explorer-1 comes with three front mounted high-powered exploration lights for missions into the deep while elusive giant goldfish curiously look on. Built-in red and green sequential flashing running lights also alert timid mammoth angle fish they're about to have a close encounter with the upper world. The Ocean Explorer-1 comes completely assembled with rechargeable battery power, and only needs 8AA batteries to power-up the two-channel surface command transmitter. Should your Explorer-1 ever run out of power, experience radio-link interference, fear notā¦our failsafe system is preset to automatically shut down the engines and blow all ballast sending the Explorer-1 safely on an emergency return trip to the surface. And with the fast recharger, before you know it you'll be ready to shout, "Dive! DIVE!" and begin your voyage to the bottom of the sea.

Reader Reviews
My 3 year old son picked this up at the checkout counter on a recent outing to the pet store. He had been such a good boy that day, that I thought a little toy was in order. I didn't really look at the box until I got home, and couldn't believe what I saw when I got the sub out of the box and read the instructions. For starters, the submarine itself needs to be charged from the included charger by connecting a cord from the sub to the charger. The charger is battery operated. In other words, YOU HAVE TO USE BATTERIES TO CHARGE BATTERIES. This toy must have been designed by a battery manufacturer. Since we already had rechargable AA batteries, I shook off my initial disgust and loaded 4 AA batteries into the charging unit, and another two in the Remote Control unit. After about an hour the sub was charged and I flipped the RC on/off switch to on to check things out. The props immediately started turning. That's when I got a nasty little nick from one of the unprotected propellers! My son was all over me to let him use the sub in the tub, so against my better judgement, I handed over the RC. It didn't take my son more 30 seconds to drop the RC into the tub. After plopping son in front of the television, then retrieving and drying off the RC, I experimented a little with the sub myself. It doesn't really maneuver well - neither in the tub nor in an aquarium. Additionally, in the aquarium the props are a hazard to fish and plants. If one could maneuver it, it would still need more room than was available in my 30 gal tank. My son returned asking to play with the sub. I showed him how to turn the lights on the sub on and off (remove, rotate and replace the conning tower). When the sub is "on", one blue and two red LED's light up. These are quite bright and my son was quite content simply using the sub as a flashlight. He's had so much fun flipping the sub lights on and off and exploring the dark corners of the house with it, that I decided not to toss it. He did very quickly manage to break the propellers that were on the sub. Fortunately, an extra pair of props and an extra conning tower are included with this toy. My opinion is: This toy is a waste of money, is poorly designed and does't work as advertised.
