When you live near a cave diving location (like you do) you don't need to travel and you just bring your DPV from home, but for those of us that live on the other side of the country and travel to Florida, It's $40 in baggage fees each way and I have a DPV that I know for the whole trip, instead...

I emailed you the Android app. You don't need the nose plug installed to check the battery.

Let's run that thought to completion (i.e. when you stop diving) At the end of all those years of diving, you have a "cheap/small/good enough DPV" with minimal resale value, that you've put up with for years, with its lackluster performance and features, plus the expense and inconvenience of...

I thought you were quite clear, but some people don't bother to actually read posts before offering opinions, hence my reply to his suggestion. But since he seems bent on forcing his opinion on everyone, let's take a look at the numbers. He suggest a "exploration" DPV with four 216Wh batteries...

Hi QAQTAT, For those near the border that don't want to get gouged by the shipping companies for customs clearance fees, we can ship it to a FedEx location in the US as "hold for pickup". You are on the honor system to claim it at the border after that. As for the suggestion to get a cheaper...

Hey fisheater, it's been a while, glad to see you here and thanks for the kind words. Hope you are still diving it, or at least planning the next trip to Bonaire.

We can ship it to internationally with a FULL warp core, just as easily as empty. Our batteries can ship with the cells installed since they are less then 100Wh per layer. You just disconnect the jumpers between the layers when shipping or flying them and reconnect at the destination. We...

I typically discharge them down to around 30% if they are not already there after the last dive(s). I just lock the trigger on at full speed and let it run for a few hours in air. Makes a nice fan in hot weather, but don't try that with any other scooter, you'll burn up the shaft seals. The...

Thanks rjack for the endorsement, but you are an early adopter, since your Genesis was the first with a water cooled motor. Simply means that the metal of the motor lamination has direct conduction to the water (through a reasonably thin aluminum housing wall) instead of the motor being...

Boating is on the state approved list of activities. Go for a boat ride and "accidentally" fall in with your dive gear.

rjack has some extra weight in his, since it is a retrofit. The Genesis 1.0 had its battery weight offset to account for torque, but the new battery is symmetrical and we got rid of the torque. The handle is negatively buoyant, so it rolls the DPV over. The approximately 1 lb of lead needed...

Scooters are a bit like crack, addiction is nearly instantaneous. At around $2K with batteries, it's a great entry level DPV. You just need to futz with it a lot more than a Genesis. Be careful of contaminating your seals every time you open and close it, don't scratch the plastic sealing...

Well, we do use custom dual 18650 cell holders on the layers and a "di-" prefix simply means "two or double," so technically we do have dilithium cell holders. It is also a stack of multiple layers inside a tube, just like the Enterprise warp core. And at night, the bioluminescent bits in the...

I hate to break in on a competitors thread to correct you, but Dewalt only advertises the "20V" batteries in the Americas to supposedly differentiate them from their older 18V NiCad batteries. They are actually 18V packs containing 5 (or 5 parallel groups) of 3.6V cells in series. 5 x 3.6V cell...

Running low speed in water actually uses less power (around 30-40W) than max speed in air.

We offer the Sentry with 75A Anderson connectors for other brands of DPV, no adapter needed. The small square is the water intrusion detector that is attached to the inside of the DPV at the normal low point. Sentry DPV Dashboard Alt by Jon Nellis posted Feb 27, 2020 at 6:07 PM

Sentry Transmitter for other brands of DPV using the 75Amp Anderson connectors.

rjack, if you want to drop the voltage down, just lock the trigger on, turn the speed up to max and use it as a fan for a few hours. Doesn't hurt a thing and it will use about 50 watts at full speed in air. I did that for 8 hours once, to drop the voltage for airline safety. There's no shaft...

We do not have a dealer in the EU, but can ship there via FedEx or DHL. I'm not familiar with what taxes you are referring to, but either the dealer pays the import duties and passes them to the customer or the customer pays them directly. VAT can't be avoided, except we have had customers...

I've traveled with DPVs and never had a problem, but I proactively put an info packet in the bag with it explaining to the TSA inspector what it is, what the regulations are and instruction to call my cell or have me paged in the airport if they want to open the DPV to inspect, as it could be...
