GUE DPV 1
A DPV is about the most fun you can have underwater! In this course you will learn how to safely operate diver propulsion vehicles (DPV) and plan dives using your “scooter”.
DPV diving brings multiple advantages to divers including the ability to relax behind the wheel while someone else does the work! It’s easy to drive and operate a scooter but, as with most things, the devil is in the details.
This course will build your capacity to deal with emergencies and other problems while you are using a DPV. And it’s 2-3 days of pure fun!
