Hello all.

I know there has been a lot of hype around Dive-Xtras new BlackTip DPV. I was one of the first on the train, and my scooter ended up in my hands today.

This thing is a sweet little package. Fit and finish is good. A couple little spots on the PVC body, but nothing that won't happen in it's lifetime of use. First concern was the motor was much slower than I saw in all of DX's promo videos, but it was just due to the surface/air mode. Once it got in water gear three instantly produced more thrust than I was expecting. Then came mounting my compass and nose clip. I was hoping DX would put in a molded hole in the nose for a piece of line. But some line around the handle and under the strap works too.

In water testing starts tomorrow. I already have a few projects that this will be a huge help.View attachment 561695

What compass setup do you have on it?
 
I've added a compass:

These look awesome. Just curious what happens if the compartment floods? main reason i haven't bought one yet... i do a lot of shore diving, typically 3 dives. so using this 3 times in one trip would be a common practice. How safe are the seals?

Thanks
