Maximize underwater exploration, see more, save air, and move faster!
About the course
The PADI Diver Propulsion Vehicle (DPV) course is your gateway to a new level of underwater exploration. If scuba diving is like a leisurely stroll through a park, using a DPV is akin to cruising a neighborhood on an electric bike—only underwater. These underwater scooters allow you to cover more territory quickly, conserve air, and effortlessly move from one place to another, all while adding an extra layer of excitement to your dives.
Throughout the course, you’ll complete two dives where you’ll learn how to properly maintain a DPV, plan your dives, and master techniques for staying close to your dive buddy. The course emphasizes safe DPV handling, including how to descend and ascend smoothly while using the device. You’ll also learn to anticipate and handle potential issues, ensuring that your DPV adventures are not only thrilling but also safe. Whether you’re gliding over vibrant reefs, exploring extensive wrecks, or simply avoiding crowded dive sites, the PADI DPV course enhances your ability to see more and enjoy every moment underwater.
