When you buy a scooter they should at least put a DVD with a 1 on 1 steps of how to take it apart and maintenance.

Can't believe I bought a 4000$ equipment and I don't know how to take care of it.

Hi Valery,

The standard charge for a full overhaul is $250.00 factory direct, and basically covers everything except flooded motors that are non-serviceable, and replacement of the battery packs. The only user serviceable items are the 2 o-rings on the lower housing.

Hi Nick,
Thanks for your answer so when they say annual service it's only for the 2 o-ring on the cone motor body?

I've a small concern if you could help:

When I release the trigger, the switch rod goes all the way down and hit the cone motor body, is that normal, the spot where the switch rod hit seems to have removed the paint. Should I worry about future corrosion? How to fix this?


(Factory overhaul would mean sending it from Lebanon to the US and bringing it back, it would be too expensive, the only option is to do it myself)

Thanks for posting this Valery,

I'm looking to buy 2 DPV's soon, along with some other gear. Dive X and Hollis are on my list, but maintenance is a big decision maker for me.

I'm in Japan so I need to be able to do most of the maintenance myself.

Hopefully you're maintenance issue will get resolved.
