Torpedo 3500 DPV
The Torpedo 3500 DPV ,was purchased as a Birthday Gift, for my Scuba Diving enthusiast brother.Upon opening the boxes ,he was thrilled with the unit .Couldn't wait for his next dive outing, so his inaguaral test ,was in the backyard pool. Very satisfied with the ease of use / speed of the Torpedo 3500 .A well designed/ engineered product ,perfect for anyone who enjoys diving ( any skill level )
Underwater cruising
Love it! I use it to traverse/explore the wide expanse of a very large fresh water lake. The materials and construction are high quality. I've enhanced it by adding a cross bar to mount a depth gauge and compass. It works best when attached to a crotch strap; thus allowing one hand, effortless steering . I am able to greatly extend the exploration range of my dive that can be typically done on a tank of gas. The battery life has always outlasted my gas supply. Cruising speed is a nice, com...

The Torpedo DPV (Dive Propulsion Vehicle) is designed to provide divers with greater mobility and less air consumption giving them more bottom time (within tables) and far greater range. Scuba divers pursue their sport to experience the fun and excitement of the underwater world. A DPV can enhance this experience by providing a greater mobility and extended time while using less effort. The Torpedo 3500 has been developed specifically with ease in operation and maneuverability. Engineered hydro dynamically with precision balance, Torpedo's unique design was specifically developed to keep the Torpedo 3500's operation and maintenance easy and simple. Every DPV is factory tested to a Depth of 170' (52 meters) to ensure that all design specifications have been achieved.
The Main Seal for the battery compartment has an O-ring seal for optimum protection against leakage. This type of sealing is easy to maintain. In normal use, the Torpedo 3500 is slightly negative -2.5 lbs. (-1.3 kg) when underwater. This allows a diver to set the unit down on the bottom to make equipment adjustments, take pictures, etc. For the snorkeler who wants his/her unit to be more buoyant, floatation devices are available. A magnetic reed switch, which can only be magnetically activated, has been designed for both safety and dependability. A magnet, conveniently inserted in a hook and loop palm strap, activates the switch.
The DPV is constructed from Gel coated BI axial fiberglass, ABS and powder coated aluminum. By utilizing computer aided design the Torpedo 3500 enhances the free flow of water through the shrouded propeller to maximize efficiency of the motor thrust. The Torpedo 3500 can be positioned upright for ease of opening and closing the unit to access the battery, as well as minimizing floor space during storage. The handles are designed for optimum function. Their location along the centerline of thrust and buoyancy provides minimal operation effort and arm fatigue while in use. This design also allows the user to carry the Torpedo DPV with ease while out of the water. The common 7/8" (2.22 cm) handle diameter allows for numerous accessory attachments to better adapt this unit to the individual's needs.
The DPV is powered by a sealed mercury marine/motor guide aluminum housing trolling motor. The battery is a 32 AH absorbed electrolyte sealed lead acid style that measures (W x H x L) 5.13" x 6" x 7.63", and weight 26 lbs. (11.8 kg). The unit comes complete with a fully automatic 6 amp output charger that will recharge a fully discharged battery in 3 to 4 hours. Charger is designed for an electrical input of 120 VAC 60 HZ. The Torpedo 3500 DPV weighs 50 lbs. (22.68 kg) on land, provides a speed of 3.5 mph (5.6 kph) with a run time of 45 minutes. The DPV with battery measures (H x Dia. x W) 35" x 10" x 12" (88.9 cm 25.4 cm x 30.48 cm) and comes with an owner's manual.
