This course is designed to introduce divers to the skills and excitement of using diver propulsion vehicles. The course familiarizes student divers with the knowledge, planning, organization, procedures, techniques, potential problems and hazards associated with using DPVs.

DPV Diver Pool Session

This session is designed to introduce divers to the excitement of using diver propulsion vehicles. The session will start with a short briefing and demonstration of the use of the DPV and cover a few basic safety issues. Each participant will then get the opportunity to use the DPV wearing full SCUBA gear and if they choose snorkelling equipment.

Please note - This session is a great introduction to DPVs but does NOT lead to a PADI speciality certification and will not allow participants to rent DPVs. To gain the PADI Speciality certification, a one day open water course is required (see above) – £20 of the cost of this session will be deducted from the DPV Speciality course fee if booked within one week of your session.

MATERIALS PROVIDED FOR SESSION:

• Use of DPV

MATERIALS YOU SHOULD BRING:

• Full SCUBA gear for pool use (available for hire at £8)
