Hi,

This is a long shot but thought I’d try and see what (if any) responses I get.

Would anybody be interested in buddying up who has a Divers Propulsion Vehicle (DPV or underwater scooter) on a Mike Ball liveaboard trip?

I recently started using a friend’s Dive-Xtras BlackTip DPV for local ocean shore diving, and was thinking of bringing a Dive Logic Gear Genesis 3.1 for a liveaboard in Cairns in late 2024 or early 2025.

Contacted a number of dive operators and Mike Ball do allow the use of DPVs. Spirit of Freedom told me that they do not support the use of DPVs on their live aboard trips.

This is the trip that I am considering (for the departure on 26 Dec 2024). Obviously it would be better if I could buddy up with another DPV user.


This would be my third trip to Osprey and the outer Great Barrier Reef.

If the above trip doesn’t suit, I am happy to consider another Mike Ball trip in the late 2024 to mid 2025 time frame.
