DPV - Diver Propulsion Vehicle Course

Step into HIGH gear!

The PADI DPV Diver Course with AQUASUB SCUBA DIVING CENTRE

The PADI DPV (Diver Propulsion Vehicle) Diver course is designed to provide divers with the knowledge and skills necessary to safely use a DPV, or underwater scooter, to explore the underwater environment. The course covers topics such as the advantages of using a DPV, the types of DPVs available, and how to properly use and maintain a DPV.

During the course, you will learn about the different types of DPVs and their uses, as well as how to properly operate a DPV to conserve air, maintain buoyancy, and navigate underwater. You will also learn about the potential hazards associated with using a DPV and how to properly maintain and care for the equipment.

To enroll in the PADI DPV Diver course, you must have a minimum of the PADI Open Water Diver certification or equivalent, and be at least 12 years old. The course typically includes both classroom and practical sessions, and culminates in several open water dives where you will apply the knowledge and skills you have learned while using a DPV.

The PADI DPV Diver course is an excellent opportunity for divers who want to enhance their underwater mobility and explore more of the underwater environment. However, it is important to remember that using a DPV requires additional knowledge and skills to use safely, and should only be attempted by divers who are properly trained and prepared.

Propel your way through the water and glide over reefs, buzz around a large wreck or weave through a kelp forest. You must be at least 12 years old and a PADI (Junior) Open Water Diver or higher.
