A DPV (Diver Propulsion Vehicle) is an underwater scooter that allows you to move underwater with less effort and cover greater distances during a dive.
Yes. To complete the DPV Diver specialty, you must have Advanced Open Water certification or equivalent, as the course is aimed at divers with previous experience.
No. During the course you will learn to control the speed, direction and stability of the DPV progressively, always under the supervision of a certified instructor.
This course throws you into 2 supervised ocean dives where you’ll master underwater scooter handling, nail your dive planning, and lock down safety protocols.
An underwater scooter? That’s your ticket to covering serious ground, ditching the drag, and unlocking way more dive site in a single plunge.
Nope. We run this course with standard recreational gear. The underwater scooter and all the bits you need? We’ve got you covered during training.
You bet. Malta’s got dive conditions dialed for most of the year, so you can snag your DPV Diver specialty in different seasons, playing it by ear with the sea’s mood.
