Scooter
Diver Propulsion Vehicle
also referred to as DPV
The DPV will move you quickly through the water with reduced work load thus lower air consumption rate.
For safe DPV use one should have formal training.

Do not be misled: for your DPV card to be accepted at cave sites
you MUST be trained by a certified Advanced Cave Instructor

This is a certification course. Several of the concepts covered are:

  • gas planning for DPV use
  • runaway DPV responses
  • techniques used to bank, roll and hard turns
  • safety points and protocols
