This course teaches safe operation, handling techniques, and navigation using DPVs. You’ll gain the skills needed to incorporate a DPV into recreational or technical dives confidently, under the guidance of experienced instructors. Key Details Location: Gosforth, NE3 2HY Group size: 1–12 participants Minimum age: 12 Minimum dives: 1 confined water dive and 3 open water dives Key Skills Safe handling and operation of DPVs Buoyancy and trim control while using a DPV Navigation and route planning underwater Emergency procedures specific to DPV use Integration of DPVs into recreational and technical diving What to Expect Training starts at the Gosforth centre, where instructors provide an overview of DPV function, handling, and safety considerations. You’ll learn pre-dive checks, correct body positioning, and how to adjust trim and buoyancy while being propelled underwater. Confined water dives give hands-on practice, allowing you to master smooth operation, speed control, and safe turns. Open water dives at local sites such as Capernwray, Ellerton, or Beadnell Bay put these skills into practice in real diving conditions. Instructors provide ongoing feedback, focusing on safe navigation, coordination, and emergency management while using a DPV. Location The Gosforth centre serves as the base for theory and briefing sessions. Confined water practice takes place at the indoor pool in Elsdon Avenue, Seaton Delaval, Whitley Bay. Open water training occurs at local sites chosen for accessibility and safety, allowing controlled DPV use in a variety of conditions. These sites provide opportunities to practise vehicle handling, navigation, and emergency procedures in safe and supervised settings. Instructors ensure each participant gains confidence and skill in real diving environments. Prerequisites Participants must have a recognized Open Water certification and basic experience with scuba equipment.
