DPV1
WHY TAKE THIS COURSE?
Being a diver means exploring new underwater territories, and with an underwater scooter (Diver Propulsion Vehicle - DPV) the exploration range can expand even further. Riding a scooter is not only fun, but it also allows divers to cover more distance with less effort, even carrying extra gear.
GUE’s DPV Level 1 course is designed to introduce divers to the skills and knowledge required to safely use Underwater Propulsion Vehicles (DPV) in open water environments.
