DPV Cave Diver Course

The Diver Propulsion Vehicle (DPV) is used to further extend the penetration into the cave. The use of the DPV inside the cave has to be responsible, considering cave conservation and safety! As you reach the penetration limits of your stage cave dives the use of the DPV allows you to increase your penetration farther into the cave by safely driving the familiar section of the cave you have explored with stages. Driving only familiar section of the cave helps cave conservation and diver safety. Driving the DPV into the cave at speeds three times or faster than swimming increases cave penetration but not so much the dive time. You have to learn how to plan and visualize your two separate gas plans one for the DPV part and one for the swimming part of your cave dive. Your gas plans also include DPV failures and emergencies. DPV cave dives can increase your cave penetration and prevent or reduce decompression inside the cave you will learn how to balance DPV trigger time, dive depth and your SAC Rate to select your penetration speed with the DPV, breathing gas selections and decompression limits.
