Portable, low cost, high speed surface and subsurface vehicles for aquatic data collection, payload delivery, or water quality monitoring. The vehicles can be deployed in pods enable rapid large scale data collection across a wide area. The vehicles are capable of transiting the water surface at speeds of over ten knots, and can also be propelled under the water surface and dive vertically to the floor of the water body. A passive, non-powered internal weight transfer system enhances the vehicle's performance in each of its transit modes. The vehicles can have one or more of the following features: high speed stabilizing wings, a tool-less assembly system, sacrificial standoffs for vertical dives, sacrificial protectors for the control surfaces, and/or a universal mounting system for attaching payloads such as sensors.
