 
If you are a
certified diver, do not miss this dive.
Travel over a mile of underwater terrain. The use of Dacor Sea Scooters will let you fly through canyons, off of under water cliffs, while doing loops around fish.
| | This dive is a maxium of four and sometimes, done at
Black Rock, and other dive locations around Maui and allows
you to see the whole place in one dive. SCOOTERS are
negatively buoyant 3 pounds and we leave them on the bottom
while swimming around looking for different marine life. This
dive is in high demand and advanced reservations
required.
This is a beach entry dive.

A diver propulsion vehicle (DPV, also known as an
underwater propulsion vehicle or underwater scooter) is an
item of
diving equipment used by
scuba and
rebreather divers to increase range underwater. Range is restricted
by the amount of
breathing gas that can be carried, the rate at which that breathing
gas is consumed under exertion, and the time limits imposed by the
dive tables to avoid
decompression sickness. DPV's can have military application; an
example is the Diver Propulsion Device (DPD) from STIDD Systems in the
US.[1]
A DPV usually consists of a
battery-powered
electric motor, which drives a
propeller. The design must ensure that: the propeller is caged so
that it cannot harm the diver,
diving equipment or marine life; the vehicle cannot be accidentally
started or run away from the diver; and it remains neutrally
buoyant
under all conditions.
DPVs are useful for long journeys at constant depth where navigation
is easy. Typical uses include
cave diving and
technical diving where the vehicles help move bulky equipment and
make better use of the limited underwater time imposed by the
decompression requirements of
deep diving.
For many
recreational divers DPVs are not useful.
Buoyancy control is vital for diver safety: The DPV has the
potential to make buoyancy control difficult and cause
barotrauma if the diver ascends or descends under power. Visibility
of less than 5 metres makes navigating a DPV difficult. Also, many forms
of smaller marine life are very well
camouflaged or hide well and are only seen by divers who move very
slowly and are very vigilant.
