Why DPV And Why Now?
Launching this new program is a general reflection on RAID‘s commitment to giving our members, and the diving public, the most current and useful training aids. It’s apparent that recreational and technical divers are using DPVs to access sites that would be difficult to reach and explore using traditional propulsion methods; to help propel large amounts of heavy equipment; to increase the safety of dives in areas of strong current; or just for the pure exhilaration of shooting through the water at speed and performing underwater acrobatics.
By extending your capabilities and extending your range, using a DPV opens new vistas for exploration and fun.
