Underwater Scooters
An underwater (submarine) scooter is a versatile vehicle that can be used for both recreational and technical/professional purposes, depending on the characteristics of the model: generally speaking, the most important features to take into account are running time, cruising speed and the maximum depth that can be reached: DPVs that offer top performance in these areas can even be used for long-range dives and cave dives.
As for any underwater equipment, it is necessary to learn how to use the underwater scooter correctly: however, the technology is intuitive, and a few lessons are sufficient to master it and acquire the knowledge required to handle any critical issues during dives.

Structure
It usually consists of a pressure-resistant watertight casing containing a battery-powered electric motor, which drives a propeller. The design must ensure that the propeller cannot harm the diver, diving equipment or marine life, the vehicle cannot be accidentally started or run away from the diver, and it remains approximately neutrally buoyant while in use underwater.
