What went wrong
A scooter malfunction on a CCR dive turned into a near-fatal emergency, according to the diver. The description gives no further detail, so the specific failure and response are not summarised here.
A CCR diver recounts a dive on which his scooter (DPV) malfunctioned and left him close to disaster. He tells the story from the dive through to the surface.
