One of the major benefits of riding around on a
Vehicles/Scooters is you're not doing any work, so
your air can last up to 50 percent longer, effectively
doubling your dive time! Vehicles/Scooters, also
known as DPV's, are best used for covering large areas.
They are excellent for underwater inspection, search and
recovery operations, and exploration.
Vehicles/Scooters give you the ability to navigate
around the perimeter of a large object, dive sites from
shore that were previously unreachable, or visit
multiple sites during the same dive. On average, their
top speed ranges from two to three miles per hour,
although ultimate speed depends on the diver's size and
streamlining. Vehicles/Scooters are quite easily
maneuvered, and can be turned left, right, up, down, and
even completely around without trouble. |
