TECHNICAL DPV CLASS

Why take the Technical DPV course?

The IANTD/IDF Technical DPV Course is designed to introduce divers to the skills and knowledge required to safely use Underwater Propulsion Vehicles (DPV) in open water environments.

As a diver, you explore new underwater territories, and with an underwater scooter (Diver Propulsion Vehicle, DPV), your exploration range can expand even further. Riding a scooter is fun and lets divers cover more distance with less effort, even while carrying extra gear.

Who is it for?

This course is essential for anyone interested in using one of the most fun and efficient tools available to divers: a DPV. This tool lets divers cover greater distances or carry more equipment with less effort. It also supports the Advanced Cave DPV course, advanced technical cave diving training, underwater projects, and exploration diving.

What will I learn?

Course outcomes include, but are not limited to: basic principles of DPV diving, dive planning, teamwork while using a DPV, environmental and conservation awareness, stress management, navigation, standard and emergency procedures, DPV maintenance and troubleshooting, and the potential hazards of diving with a DPV.
