The Tahoe Benchmark is a series of research projects focused on Diver Propulsion Vehicles (a DPV or scooter) performance. In July of 2008, the first careful test of underwater scooters was performed at Lake Tahoe, California. Using electronic data recorders over the length of a 1/4 mile underwater track, the results are presented here, to help divers with planning and equipment selection.
