What Happened to Reefski (Scuba Craft Ltd) After Dragons’ Den?
Reefski (Scuba Craft Ltd) appeared on Dragons’ Den in 2005, Series 2 Episode 4. The business was a submersible watercraft boat. No deal was made — the Dragons decided not to invest. The company was dissolved in 2010.
The Pitch
Robin Harris walked into the Den in 2005 with a submersible watercraft boat. They were asking for N/A.
Despite their best efforts, the pitch didn’t convince the Dragons to open their wallets.
The Deal
No deal was made. The Dragons weren’t persuaded to invest, and Robin Harris left the Den without backing.
What Happened After the Show
Reefski (Scuba Craft Ltd) did not survive long-term. The company was dissolved in 2010, some 5 years after the pitch.
This is not an unusual outcome. The majority of businesses that appear on Dragons’ Den, deal or no deal, don’t make it in the long run. The show can provide a platform and capital, but it can’t substitute for a sustainable business model.
Is Reefski (Scuba Craft Ltd) Still Available?
No. Scubacraft Ltd is no longer in business. Companies House records show the company has been dissolved.
