Start course Mermaid

If you want to make the most of your bottom time and have more fun during your dives, go diving with a submersible scooter or DPV. Your legs can only travel a limited distance before you run out of air. But underwater scooters and diver propulsion vehicles (DPVs) put an end to that problem. With scooters and DPVs, you can enjoy easier diving and lower air consumption so you can explore longer and farther wherever you go. In this underwater scooter and DPV course, you'll learn the skills and concepts you need to safely plan and execute dives with scooters or DPVs. You will learn the special precautions needed to use DPVs, how to stay in contact with your buddy and operate your equipment so you can safely enjoy the new diving experiences DPVs offer. Upon completion of this program you will obtain the SSI Scooter / DPV Diving certification and be able to dive up to 30 meters with scooter or DPV
