SUEX VRX Diver Propulsion Vehicle (DPV) Training
The DPV (Diver Propulsion Vehicle) Training Program enables divers to significantly expand their range of exploration while improving efficiency and reducing physical exertion underwater.
Designed for technical divers, this course focuses on the procedures and skills required for the safe and effective use of a DPV, including decompression cylinder management, diver assistance and self-rescue techniques, emergency procedures, equipment failure management, and underwater navigation.
Course Duration 2 days, including:
-
Classroom theory sessions
-
1 confined-water training dive
-
4 open-water dives, to a maximum depth of 40 metres
Prerequisites
-
IANTD Advanced Nitrox Diver, TDI Decompression Procedures, or equivalent certification
-
Minimum of 25 logged dives
-
Minimum age: 18 years
Learning Objectives
Upon successful completion of the course, participants will be able to:
-
Safely operate and maintain a DPV
-
Conduct technical dives using a DPV
-
Manage emergency and failure scenarios
-
Perform diver assistance and self-rescue procedures while using a DPV
-
Apply effective underwater navigation techniques during DPV-assisted dives
This training provides the foundation required to integrate DPVs into technical diving operations safely and efficiently.
Basic Nitrox Diver Training
The Basic Nitrox Diver Course introduces divers to the use of Enriched Air Nitrox (EANx), a breathing gas containing a higher percentage of oxygen than standard air. By reducing nitrogen exposure during dives, Nitrox can increase no-decompression limits and help reduce post-dive fatigue.
This course provides the theoretical knowledge and practical skills required to safely plan and conduct dives using Nitrox mixtures.
Course Duration 1 day, including:
-
Classroom theory sessions
-
Practical exercises in gas analysis and dive planning
(Optional training dives may be included depending on the certification agency and course structure.)
Prerequisites
-
Open Water Diver certification (or equivalent)
-
Minimum age: 15 years (or according to agency standards)
Learning Objectives
Upon successful completion of the course, participants will be able to:
-
Understand the benefits and limitations of Nitrox
-
Analyze and verify Nitrox gas mixtures
-
Calculate maximum operating depths (MOD)
-
Plan dives using enriched air safely
-
Understand oxygen exposure limits and associated risks
-
Apply best practices for Nitrox diving operations
This certification provides a solid foundation for recreational and technical divers seeking to extend bottom time and improve diving efficiency through the safe use of enriched air.

Advanced Nitrox Diver Training
This course provides an in-depth understanding of decompression processes and breathing gas management. Participants will learn how to analyze and identify Nitrox mixtures, plan multi-gas dives, use Nitrox-compatible dive computers, and safely handle equipment designed for enriched air diving.
This certification qualifies divers to use oxygen-enriched gas mixtures ranging from 40% to 100% oxygen, providing greater flexibility for the planning and execution of technical and scientific diving operations.
Duration - 2 days
4 training dives
Entry Requirements
Minimum certification level: Level 2 Diver (or equivalent)
Recommended for Level 3 divers and above who regularly conduct deep dives (greater than 40 metres
