Scooter / DPV Diving Specialty

Explore Further. Ride the Ocean. Discover Underwater Vehicles.

Underwater vehicles first gained prominence during the Second World War, when Allied forces discovered one following a failed sabotage attempt on shipping. Since then, these fascinating machines have evolved dramatically and are now used in scientific research, exploration, transport, and exciting recreational diving experiences.

Today, underwater scooters and propulsion vehicles allow divers to travel further, conserve energy, and experience dive sites in an entirely new way.

However, there is one important principle every diver must remember: we are visitors in the underwater world.
Operating underwater vehicles requires skill, awareness, and environmental responsibility to ensure marine life and fragile ecosystems remain protected.

The Underwater Vehicle Specialty Training at Central Coast Divers will teach you how to:

• Safely operate diver propulsion vehicles (DPVs)
• Plan dives using underwater vehicles
• Control speed, depth, and buoyancy while riding
• Navigate efficiently over larger areas
• Protect marine environments while using propulsion equipment

This exciting program allows you to expand your diving range, explore more of each dive site, and experience the underwater world in a completely new way.
