My buddy Rick Rowett is having the Grand Opening of Deep Blue Adventures this Saturday, Dec 14th. 4-8pm at 5775 Pacheco Blvd in Pacheco, CA (near Walnut Creek, yeah I had to google it too) This is the previous location of the Anchor Shack. Some may know Rick from the 20+ years as the general...
Make sure to close the phone app when you are not using it. If you just minimize it and leave it running in the back ground, the Bluetooth transmitter may remain ON and drain the battery faster.
Matt at Flippers in Jacksonville , Charlie at Fathom in Gainesville and Landon at Deep6 is around there frequently and should be able to do a demo. Pete McCumber also has a couple and could probably set you up. That would show you how easy it is to not fall behind in the first place, so you...
I think you are missing the point of fully variable speed at the handle. There is no need for "just a quick catch up" when you can easily vary your speed to stay in position the entire time. DPVs that are limited to preset speed steps by "clicking" or those where it's annoying to reach the...
1. "Correctly weighted out of the box" is marketing B.S. Is that for fresh water or salt? Do you have a Compass or camera mounted on it? A bolt snap on the nose? Everything you add to a DPV will affect the trim. A bolt snap on the nose will add about 2oz of weight, so that factory weighted DPV...
Thank you for the review! If I recall, you were using it for filming whales out in the middle of the Atlantic? Please post a pic or two if you can.
Thanks again.

We have a travel bag for the small body Genesis DPVs with room to add a light wetsuit or BCD on top of the body and still come in at 50lbs. Just need to remove the 4 screws on the handle mount and fold it forward or tuck it in the prop area. 15x15x30 dimensions. Charger goes in another bag...
The CE Low Voltage Directive limit is 75VDC, so the charger is set for 74.8V instead of 75.6V for standard 18S pack to stay below the more stringent regulation point.

I'm now getting emails referencing this thread with individuals thinking some of the ideas expressed here are "good ideas". Let me clarify, they are not.
I'm fairly certain most divers would reject an 80% gas fill from their local dive shop and want it topped off. Most divers would also agree...
We can add a power output to the nose, and it's good for large video lights attached to the DPV, but I don't recommend it for heating systems. More things to get twisted/tangled, accidental disconnect can destroy connector, electrical cable running past the prop inlet. A battery pack on the...
I recommend removing the nose plug when you are not diving. The motor controller pulls a few watts of quiescent power when enabled, so leaving it enabled for 12+ hours over night can drain a noticeable amount charge. Salt spray will not affect the gold plated contacts, just don't stand it on...
We can ship world wide direct to consumer, I'll PM you.
Benefits of the Genesis over other brands are...
1. Single handed fully variable speed instead of a X amount of preset speeds, which makes it a lot easier to dial in the exact speed you want. Imagine driving a car that only goes...
New to the Genesis 3.0, you'll notice a flashing LED in the window on the rear of the handle, that gives a visual indicator of battery charge. The flashes are relevant when the motor in not running (resting voltage), as the motor causes the battery voltage to decrease (sag) when running...
I take a Genesis on all trips, including liveabords. If I'm solo, I'll cruise around on the outskirts of the group for a dive or two until the DM is comfortable I'll be fine on my own and then disappear and just make sure I'm at the exit point at the appointed time every time. If you have...
