Diver Propulsion Vehicle (Scooter) Diver
Min 2 students
DPVs offer a thrilling way for scuba divers to see a lot of underwater territory in a short amount of time. They scoot you through the water allowing you to glide over reefs, buzz around a large wreck or weave through a kelp forest. A DPV is one of the most exhilarating ways to see the undersea world, but it's a practical tool as well as fun. Whether making a shore or boat dive, a DPV is a great way to see more and have fun doing it.
