Dive Propulsion Vehicle
Go farther. See more. And have a whole lot of fun getting there.
A Diver Propulsion Vehicle (DPV) lets you cover more distance underwater while conserving energy and gas. But using one properly involves more than grabbing a scooter and taking off.
The PADI DPV Diver Specialty teaches you how to safely operate and control a DPV while incorporating it into your normal dive planning.
Availability: Contact us for booking information
During two training dives, you’ll learn:
- DPV setup and pre-dive checks
- Proper positioning, handling and control
- Safe descents, ascents and turns with a DPV
- Buddy procedures and communication
- Gas management and dive planning when covering greater distances
- What to do if your DPV fails during a dive
- How to avoid damaging the underwater environment
Whether you’re exploring a wreck, covering a larger dive site or just discovering how much fun underwater scooters can be, DPV diving opens up a whole new way to explore.
Booked on demand: Contact Dirty Adventures Scuba to arrange your DPV Diver training based on student availability, equipment and appropriate diving conditions.
Cover more ground. Conserve your energy. Enjoy the ride.
