The PADI Diver Propulsion Vehicle (DPV) course allows divers to fly through the water, at speeds up to 4km/hr, an experience that every diver should feel.

The DPV specialty course is conducted over one day and consists of two open water dives and a knowledge development session. Your instructor will start the day by introducing you to the DPV unit, and will cover the assembly, disassembly and operation of the unit. A through pre-dive briefing will follow, where students will be asked to hand in their completed knowledge reviews from their PADI DPV Specialty manuals. The briefing will cover five main topics for consideration by the student diver.

 1. Planning, organization, problems and hazards while diving with a DPV

2. Equipment considerations including battery care, maintenance and precautions

3. The correct procedures for

   - Avoiding propeller entanglements

   - Vehicle failure

   - Safe ascents and descents

   - Runaway motors

   - Determining your turnaround point.

4. Techniques to ensure you don't harm the delicate aquatic environment

5. Techniques for entering and exiting the water safely.

 The PADI DPV is great fun and helps you increase your skills and knowledge while under the close supervision of a qualified PADI instructor.

Beware

Please remember that when you are choosing a place to do your diving course, it is not the center that is important, but the instructor. Many of the large dive centers employ inexperienced instructors, and you want to avoid this at all costs. If you are unsure please ask the center who your instructor will be and ask to see their qualifications. Here at Dive Travel Asia, the instructors that we use have a minimum of 1000 dives, and must have been an instructor for at least 5 years.
