#2 So it can zoom you to depths, and for amateurs, the bends will be a reality...

#3 No mention of “air supply” or similar anywhere here. They wouldn’t take you down to 131 feet without air, would they, so your scuba tank must be integrated with that very compact backpack. Does it match the 90 minute charge in the battery, that can take you down 131 feet? 90 minutes is a pretty big tank.
And should you run out of charge way down there, or air, or both, you float gently to the surface in- how long, exactly? No flippers, either, not necessary with all this jet power.
