Instructions A-D:
a) A tiny amount of water (just a few drops), the DPV still works.
a. Wipe them out and try to be more careful opening the DPV and dripping water in from the nose or your dry/wetsuit. Store the scooter
somewhere warm and dry to completely dry out.
b) A small amount of water (a few tablespoons), the DPV still works.
a. Remove the batteries and rinse the body section in fresh water. Invert tail to drain and dry. Dry everything thoroughly. You have a leak and need
to identify what could have caused it. Look for pinched O-rings. Dirt, seaweed, etc.
c) Lots of water, the DPV still works.
a. Remove the batteries and rinse the whole DPV, inside and out, with fresh water. Dry everything thoroughly. You have a leak and need to identify
what could have caused it. Look for pinched O-rings. Dirt, seaweed, etc. If the scooter still works after drying it is most likely fine, however, the
batteries are most likely damaged. If you attempt to reuse the batteries, do so with caution. Charge in a safe, nonflammable space under careful
observation.
d) Lots of water, the DPV doesn’t work.
a. Remove the batteries and rinse the whole DPV, inside and out in fresh water. Dry everything thoroughly. Batteries will be damaged, recycle
appropriately, Contact Dive Xtras for help with repairing your scooter.
DPV No Longer Runs
If your DPV were to fail and stop running during the dive, you have several options:
1) Swim the DPV
a. If the DPV is not flooded you can simply stow the DPV by clipping it onto your person (in a low drag area if possible, such as a chest D-ring) and
then swimming it back.
2) Getting a tow from your buddy
a. If the DPV is not flooded, your buddy can tow you and your failed scooter. The DPV is capable of propelling two people, but for shorter distances
and speeds.
3) Release the DPV
a. If the above techniques are unsuitable or increase risk to the user, the best option is to unclip the DPV via the tow cord bolt snap and release it.
