DPV Rental, Courses, Try Dives

Why use a DPV?

Diving with a DPV (Diver Propulsion Vehicle) or underwater scooter while SCUBA diving can significantly enhance your underwater experience. It allows you to cover larger areas more efficiently, conserving your energy and reducing fatigue, which can also help extend your dive time by lowering your air consumption. A DPV enables access to hard-to-reach spots, such as areas with strong currents, and provides smoother, faster movement underwater, making your dives more enjoyable and less tiring. This extra mobility allows you to spend more time observing marine life and exploring the underwater environment.
