            Diver Propulsion Vehicle Course

            Diver Propulsion Vehicle Course

            $199.00

            Diver propulsion vehicles (DPV) offer a thrilling way for scuba divers to see a lot of underwater territory in a short amount of time. They scoot you through the water allowing you to glide over reefs, buzz around a large wreck or weave through a kelp forest. Whether making a shore or boat dive, a DPV is a great way to see more and have fun doing it.

            If you’re at least 12 years old and a (Junior) Open Water Diver or higher, you can enroll in the Diver Propulsion Vehicle course.

            Course materials: $69.99
            DPV unit rental: $120

            Product Description

            What will you learn?

            The Diver Propulsion Vehicle course guides you in choosing the right DPV for you. You’ll make two dives and learn about:

            • Maintaining your DPV.
            • How to plan dives, including procedures for staying with your buddy.
            • DPV-handling skills, such as making proper descents and ascents.
            • Potential problems and ways to deal with them.

            Get credit! The first dive of this Specialty Diver course may credit as an Adventure Dive toward your Advanced Open Water Diver certification – ask your instructor about earning credit.

            How can you start learning now?

            Stop by our dive shop to enroll in the course, pick up your Diver Propulsion Vehicle Manual and Diver Propulsion Vehicle video and start learning. By studying independently, you’re better prepared to get in the water with your instructor and start “scootering.”

            What scuba gear will you use?

            Of course, you’ll need a DPV along with your basic scuba equipment. If you have your own DPV, your instructor will have you complete all your training using it. Ask your Instructor which DPVs are available, and what other additional equipment you may need for your scuba diving exploration with a DPV. Aquarius Scuba is proud to use the highest quality DPVs, SUEX.

If staying down longer and getting back in the water sooner sounds appealing, then don’t hesitate to become an enriched air diver.

            • Underwater Naturalist

              $150.00

              Take the Underwater Naturalist Specialty course and you’ll see new things, even on the most familiar scuba diving sites. Why? Because when you know more about symbioses, underwater ecology, and aquatic plant and animal habitats, you notice behaviors and see creatures you may have previously missed. Learn more about the local ecosystem and take a closer look on your next scuba diving adventure.

              (Junior) Open Water Divers who are at least 10 years old are eligible to take the Underwater Naturalist Specialty course.

            • Cavern Diver

              $200.00

              Caverns exist in many areas where scuba divers venture – from freshwater springs to volcanic island walls and limestone coasts. In these locations you’ll find large, dark spaces that seem incredibly inviting, yet are potentially dangerous. The Cavern Diver Specialty course gives you the knowledge and skills to explore caverns correctly – allowing you to enter far enough for adventure, but staying within the light zone for an easy exit to open water.

              You need to be Advanced Open Water Diver who is at least 18 years old to enroll in the Cavern Diver course.
