Got mine from Decathlon,think it was about £240 without paddles.
Had it in the sea a few times, takes a bit of getting used to and anything more than a bit choppy could cause a few problems.I got round this by dropping my legs over both sides for a bit of stability.
Also the bottoms of these things are fairly wide and offer a fair amount of support.


Oh and if you do get one buy one of the big hand pumps(or an electric one) and it inflates in no time.

I was lucky to find one on fleabay for £295 including the outboard mounting, I did try to find them elsewhere but was unable to find one anywhere in the UK. I got mine from a guy in North Wales he may be able to get others. Here are a few more pics, oh and forgot to mention you can fit them in the boot of your car!

Sevylor Dive Yak
After following this thread with much interest, I have ordered one. It will arrive in a couple of weeks. I have also bought an aquapack for my hand held GPS, and have taken delivery today of a hand held depth finder. The depth finder has a range of 61m and is rated to 200m. It can also be used as a fish finder. I bought the depth finder as I did not fancy dropping off the Kayak in to water beyond my prefered diving range (solo diver). Just counting down the days now!

This is the depth finder Norcross Portable Depth Sounder
but cheaper here Discount FishFinders from JG Technologies
