DPV Mastery Workshop
Master Seacraft DPV skills across single tank, twinset, or sidemount—DIR configured.

Using Seacraft DPVs and DIR configuration, you'll train across various setups—single tank, doubles, and sidemount—refining not only the use of the vehicle but how to integrate it into real-world team diving protocols.
This workshop goes far beyond just riding. You’ll develop critical thinking, precise control, and confidence in both standard and emergency situations.
