Dive Xtras is a manufacturer of diver propulsion vehicles (DPVs) or dive scooters in Mukilteo, Washington, United States.2

The story

Established in 2003 by Ben McGeever and Andrew Georgitsis, Dive Xtras introduced their first DPV in 2005. This DPV was innovative in that it was the first to utilize a brushless motor and electronic speed control. The combination of these features with NiMh battery technology drastically reduced the weight of DPVs at the time.

In 2017, Dive Xtras introduced the use of Li-ion power tool batteries (PTBs) for their Piranha line, which became standard for their later BlackTip and CudaX scooters.
