{"product_id":"thunderbolt-dpv","title":"Thunderbolt DPV","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Thunderbolt is the most versatile and most compact diver propulsion vehicle in the Subsea Propulsion Systems lineup, engineered for technical divers who demand exceptional thrust, precise speed control, and uncompromising reliability. Combining a compact form factor with a high-performance brushless motor and a proprietary planetary gearbox, the Thunderbolt delivers remarkable torque and acceleration while maintaining the rugged simplicity that defines every Subsea DPV. A milled solid Delrin nose, HDPVC hull, and anodized aluminum tailcone provide a robust structure capable of withstanding the harshest diving environments. The Thunderbolt features a newly designed custom carbon fibre shroud that offers improved durability while protecting the propeller in demanding diving conditions. The 960 watt-hour lithium-ion battery pack is encased in high-density, low-compression foam that enhances hull rigidity while maintaining neutral buoyancy characteristics. Integrated Bluetooth monitoring allows divers to review battery status between dives, providing immediate access to critical power information before returning to the water. The Thunderbolt features Vortex continuously variable speed control paired with a variable-pitch propeller, offering smooth and highly responsive power delivery across the entire throttle range. Standard anti-torque fins ensure stable, predictable handling even at maximum output. Rated to 100 metres and delivering superior run times with a fully equipped diver, the Thunderbolt is designed for extended cave penetrations, deep wreck exploration, and high-current operations. Designed with future expansion in mind, the Thunderbolt will support modular upgrades including the \u003cstrong\u003eKUR Deep Exploration Experimental\u003c\/strong\u003e hull for depths beyond 400ft and equipped with a massive 1,680 watt-hour battery for significantly extended endurance. A modular, travel-friendly battery system is also in development, providing divers with greater flexibility for expedition logistics and airline transport. For divers seeking a single DPV that excels across a wide range of demanding conditions, the Thunderbolt offers an exceptional combination of compact design, power, efficiency, and upgradeability. From technical cave diving to offshore wreck exploration, it delivers the versatility and confidence to push farther underwater.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Subsea Propulsion","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52370228248869,"sku":null,"price":8767.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0832\/6450\/4101\/files\/a0fa6b0f-24a0-451c-8c25-dd1d2f9bda33.jpg?v=1778681797","url":"https:\/\/subseapropulsion.com\/products\/thunderbolt-dpv","provider":"Subsea Propulsion","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
