PADI Diver Propulsion Vehicle (DPV) Diver
DPVs offer a way to see a lot of underwater territory in a brief amount of time. They scoot you through the water without kicking. Whether making a shore dive or diving from a boat, a DPV is a great way to go further with less effort.
The DPV is a great, effective and fun way to see a lot more of a dive site without having to swim as fast as possible!
After an orientation and getting used to the control and how to use the DPV safely, we will add on to your training to feel 100% comfortable with your new underwater scooter!
You will learn about;

- Problems and hazards, equipment considerations
- Diver etiquette
- How to avoid harming fragile aquatic life
