Underwater Scooter Specialization: Change the Way You Dive
The world of diving offers many experiences, but few compare to the feeling of freedom and speed provided by an underwater scooter (Diver Propulsion Vehicle). Scooter specialization is one of the most sought-after and enjoyable specializations for divers who want to see more on each dive, reach remote sites and do so with minimal physical effort and with extremely efficient air consumption.
Why take a scooter specialization course
The main advantage of using a scooter is the ability to cover large distances underwater in a short time. Instead of investing energy in swimming against currents or moving between remote dive sites, the scooter does the work for you. This allows the diver to remain calm, maintain a low heart rate and enjoy more economical air consumption, which ultimately translates into a quality and longer dive time.
In addition, using a scooter opens up dive sites that are not accessible by regular swimming from shore. In Eilat, for example, you can reach more remote and isolated reefs by scooter, where nature is preserved in its wildest form. Beyond the practical aspect, it is simply an exciting experience that adds a layer of adrenaline and fun to every dive.
What you learn during the internship
The course combines in-depth theoretical knowledge with intensive practical practice in the water. During the studies, you will get to know the different types of scooters on the market, how they work, and how to perform routine maintenance and battery care. A critical part of the course is dedicated to safety: learning correct ascent and dive procedures, dive planning based on battery time, and ways to deal with possible technical malfunctions in the device.
In the water, you will practice advanced control skills. This includes maintaining precise buoyancy while moving quickly, making tight turns, working in pairs with scooters, and maintaining eye contact with your partner. The instructors will guide you step by step until you reach full control, allowing you to navigate the underwater space easily and safely.
