A Zodiac is a type of inflatable raft. It has multiple air compartments so if one of them is damaged it will still stay afloat. It was patented by Jaques Custeau, but the Australians on our trip claim it was invented by an Australian and Jaques stole the idea. The Zodiac has an outboard motor and a floor made of steel. When you ride in one, you sit on the inflated pontoon edge.
