Look Who We Spotted! Steve Aoki and Tavi Castro Exploring the Deep with LEFEET P1 XR

DJ and producer Steve Aoki and creator Tavi Castro were recently spotted exploring underwater with the LEFEET P1 XR water scooter. We came across the footage on Instagram, did a double-take, and immediately recognized the familiar P1 XR shape moving through the water.

At LEFEET, few things make us happier than seeing people take our water scooters on memorable adventures. Every so often, however, a post appears in our feed that makes the whole team stop scrolling.

This was one of those moments.

Wait, Is That Steve Aoki with a LEFEET P1 XR?

Yes, you saw that correctly. Steve Aoki was captured underwater with the LEFEET P1 XR, with Tavi Castro behind the imagery. The footage brings together music, creativity, underwater exploration, and one very recognizable modular diver propulsion vehicle, or DPV.

Seeing creative, high-energy personalities choose LEFEET equipment for an underwater session was an exciting surprise. It also showed the P1 XR in the environment it was designed for: open water, fluid movement, and a new way to explore below the surface.

Then Tavi Castro Took It Further

The surprises did not stop with the first post. In another reel, Tavi Castro demonstrated a series of underwater movements with impressive control and confidence.

The reel is a vivid example of what happens when strong water skills meet compact underwater propulsion. The P1 XR can add speed and agility, but the control shown in the footage comes from the person using it. Advanced underwater movements require appropriate training, experience, conditions, and safety support.

Why the LEFEET P1 XR Fits This Kind of Adventure

The LEFEET P1 XR uses the same modular motor platform as the P1 with an upgraded 160 Wh removable battery. In a single-unit setup, it reaches a maximum speed of 2.3 m/s and offers approximately 90 minutes of runtime, depending on speed, load, water conditions, and use.

Its modular design supports several configurations for different activities. That flexibility makes the P1 XR more than a conventional underwater scooter. It can adapt to recreational diving, freediving, underwater photography, and other planned water activities using compatible LEFEET mounts.

For the LEFEET team, posts like these capture why the P1 XR exists. It gives experienced water users another way to play, explore, create, and experience the ocean.

From Global Stages to Open Water

Whether you are a global music artist taking time away from the stage, a creator filming underwater movement, or an ocean lover exploring a local dive site, the goal is the same: make every session memorable while respecting your limits, your dive plan, other water users, and the marine environment.

Technology can open new possibilities underwater, but responsible use always comes first. Maintain safe distance from marine life, stay within your training, use an appropriate buddy and safety plan, and follow local rules.
