SSI SCOOTER OR DPV COURSE $545*
Learn how to safely use a DPV and explore more with Dive Now Whangarei
Perhaps you are tired of struggling in current, have a long way to swim to a dive site, or just like the idea of whizzing aroung underwater on a powerful DPV?
During this course you will learn how to care for and operate your DPV so it gives you years of great service.
Not only will you enjoy seeing lots of aquatic animals, some may come and say hello, some will shy away from you as we are pretty big, but you will also enjoy the feeling of flying when you swim neutrally buoyant above the bottom stopping occasionally to look around.
This course is just the begining of a great journey, so whether you want to sight see, take photos, explore or collect sea food, this is the starting point in that journey.
Over the course some of the things you will learn are:
- Maintenance of your DPV
- How to safely use your DPV
- Learn skills to avoid a long swim home
- Safe use of your DPV
Currently, the course runs over one evening which includes a pool session and then 2 or 3 dives in the ocean.
