The underwater battle scene in Thunderball is a sure classic. It took forty divers, plus the camera crew, to produce and features those super awesome, spear gun mounted underwater sled/scooter/jet ski things. 

One of these gadgets recently sold at auction of £20,000 but, not to worry, because there are many cheaper alternatives on the market, allowing you to spends your money on martinis and bow ties instead.

Diver Propulsion Vehicles (DVPs) are generally used by SCUBA divers, allowing them to swim much faster and get all of that tedious fish watching over and done with as quickly as possible. Civilians, eh? Don't they realise this is a high-tech piece of spying equipment?

These diver propulsion vehicles will really give you the edge in your next underwater battle with an aquatic army of baddies and henchmen, allowing you to swim circles around them. 

Unfortunately, most of them do come pre-fitted with spear guns, we're afraid you'll have to ask Q for those.
