Diver Propulsion Vehicle (DPV)

The DPV Course at Wahoo Divers Malaga introduces divers to one of the most exciting and dynamic ways to explore the underwater world. Using a Diver Propulsion Vehicle, you’ll glide effortlessly through the water, cover greater distances, and enjoy a completely new sense of freedom beneath the surface. This course teaches you how to safely operate a DPV, manage speed and buoyancy, plan scooter dives, and understand essential battery care and maintenance.

Training begins with a detailed equipment briefing, followed by confined‑water practice to build confidence and control. You’ll then complete open‑water dives along the beautiful coastline of teh Costa del Sol, where you’ll learn navigation techniques, buddy procedures, and how to use the DPV effectively in real dive scenarios.

Perfect for adventure divers, photographers, and anyone wanting to maximise their underwater time, the DPV Course combines fun, skill development, and pure underwater excitement. Experience diving like never before.
