It would seem that a DPV would be a really good way to get killed, since it would let you go much further into a cave under power than you could swim back out un-aided.
This means that if it fails, you can't swim back out using the amount of gas you planned.
Do people really use these for caves? I always thought they were just for playing with in the pool.

metaldector:DPV Diving Propulsion Vehicle. Basically an electric motor & battery with a propeller on the front and handles on the back. A diver holds it in front of him and drives it. Much faster than swimming. In this case DPV (Dead Person Vehicle).
