Operating Your DPV
You’ll control your DPV by using double and single clicks on the thumb trigger. Once you’re in the water, double-clicking the trigger will start the
DPV at speed 3, known as cruise speed. To increase speed, double-click again -once for each speed gear increase. Single-clicking will decrease your
speed by one gear with each click. To stop your scooter, simply let go of the thumb trigger.
Safe Start
When you first start the DPV, it will spin its prop slowly at low power before shifting to cruise speed. This is called “safe start”. The DPV will not
allow you to engage any speed gears until it has sensed it is in water and nothing is in the way of the prop. This is to help prevent accidents. Once
running in the water, safe start is only active again if the scooter is at speed 3. If you are in a higher or lower gear, safe start is disabled, allowing
you to restart the scooter more quickly. With the DPV’s migrate feature, the scooter always returns to speed 3, so a scooter left alone for a period
of time will always activate in safe start mode.
Buoyancy & Trim
Your DPV’s buoyancy can be adjusted to suit your diving. It can be made neutral however it will always float nose up and there is no real way to correct this.
Weight can be added or removed from the nose of the scooter. There are pockets in the nose that can be filled with lead shot from an old soft
weight or similar. To access the pockets, remove the 4 screws on the back of the nose cap and lift off the thin stainless-steel cover plate. The
scooter ships from the factory with a larger, additional steel plate in the nose, and you can choose to leave this or remove it.
Do not try to remove weight from the tail. There is no weight adjustment in the tail, or any removable parts.
We recommend adjusting your buoyancy so the scooter will float trim while the handle is held. This way it is easy to use when scootering, and only floats nose
up when you stow it.
Speed Modes
Out of the box, the DPV comes loaded with 8 speed modes. Double-click to speed up, single click to slow down. Every time you change gear, the LED display will
indicate the current gear.
