This advanced mine diving course qualifies Technical Mine Divers to operate diver propulsion vehicles in flooded mine environments, enabling rapid transit through long horizontal passages while maintaining precise line following and navigation in zero-visibility overhead conditions. You'll train on DPV attachment points, scooter operation in silt-prone environments, and emergency procedures specific to confined, overhead mine passages. DPV-assisted mine diving unlocks exploration of extensive flooded mine systems and extends range for technical mine expeditions.
