3 new DPV students; PADI adventure Dive. We had a great instructor at Maui Dream Divers (Matt) and went into more detail on the DPV diving- well worth it as I learned a ton, both in safety and in use. Matt even had us return to the store to help clean the scooters and debrief us on the day after our dive. This takes a little longer than the go and blow approach but now I feel comfortable if I were to get the chance to rent one, or if I were to buy one I know the basics and what to look for.
If you get chance, make the effort to take a DPV dive, for me it was less cost and stress then the boats. You see more with the added bottom time and the greater distance traveled while using a DPV. Thanks again to Maui Dream Divers.
