DPVs, also known as underwater scooters, enhance your diving experience by allowing you to cover more area, save air, and move faster underwater—all while wearing a big smile. Diving with a DPV is among the most enjoyable activities you can do beneath the waves.

In the PADI® Diver Propulsion Vehicle course, you'll be amazed at how much you can explore with just one tank of air. Your instructor will demonstrate various maneuvers and address any queries you may have. You'll learn about the different types of underwater scooters, their upkeep, and how to operate a DPV when diving with a partner.

Over the course of two thrilling dives, you'll get hands-on practice with DPV maneuvers and tandem riding. You'll also learn how to prevent issues such as rapid ascent or descent, motor entanglements, losing sight of your dive buddy, and depleting your battery power.
