Riding a Farallon DPV is easy and comfortable. This puts the diver's torso directly over the handles containing the control triggers. The diver feels no arm fatigue and is never subjected to annoying prop wash. Controlling a Farallon DPV is almost intuitive. It is easier than controlling a bicycle.
Guidance is done through a combination of slight body movements and fin movements.
If you want to turn right, you simple lean slightly to the right and slightly raise your left fin. The opposite action will result in a turn to the left. Depth control is accomplished by simply pulling up or pushing down slightly on the handles while raising or lowering the diver's fins. The front section of the vehicle is a spun tube, while the aft section is made of cast aluminum. Farallon DPVs are extremely durable and able to withstand considerable punishment with no impact on performance.
