The Ultimate Application for Diver Travel and Activity

Farallon Mk 8

Length: 62 Inches (1.57 m).
Weight on land: 75 lbs. (34 kg) w/o battery; 125 lbs. (57 kg) w/battery
Weight in water: 3 lbs. (1.4 kg)
Speed: 0 - 3.2 MPH (0 - 5 KPH); 2.8 knots*
Range: 3.2 Miles (5 km)*
Depth: Tested to 400 FSW (122 MSW)
Body Material: .25 inch (6.36 mm) Aluminum
Color: Safety Orange / Black

     The Mk8 has infinitely variable speed control through dual fingertip triggers. When the diver lets go of the switch, the motor stops immediately - an important safety benefit. A viewport provides battery charge status so the diver can monitor his power use. The Mk8 comes complete with battery pack, 24-hour battery charger, riding saddle and user manual.

     The Mk8 is an excellent vehicle for underwater inspection, search and recovery operations, exploration or in any application where a diver needs to cover an extended distance. Divers use less energy, experience less fatigue, and often can extend the time of their dive through the use of a Farallon DPV.

Farallon Mk 7-E

Length: 42 inches (1.07 m)
Weight on land: 60 lbs. (27 kg) w/o battery; 85 lbs (39 kg) w/battery
Weight in water: 2 lbs. (1 kg)
Speed: 0 - 2.7 MPH (0 - 4.3 KPH), 2.4 Knots*
Range: 2.25 miles (3.6 km)*
Depth: tested to 400 FSW (122 MSW)
Body Material: .25 inch (6.5 mm) Aluminum
Color: Safety Orange / Black

     The Mk7 comes complete with battery pack, 24-hour battery charger, riding saddle and user manual.

     The Mk7 DPV is an excellent vehicle for short-range transit. While it does not have a standard speed variation capability, its 2.75 MPH (4.0 K/h) speed moves the diver comfortably yet briskly through the water.

     The Mk7 is an excellent vehicle for wreck diving, certain search and recovery applications, exploration, inspections, and a wide variety of recreational diving applications.

     The Mk 7-E with variable speed control that comes standard on the Mk8. For underwater applications requiring a smaller unit, a lower speed level and less travel distance, the Mk7-E fills the need. Its smaller size and lighter weight make the Mk7-E ideal in restricted environments.

Farallon Mk8-Twin

     The Farallon Mk8-Twin system consists of two Mk8 DPV's attached to a central platform or sled. A riding saddle is attached to the platform as well as a saddle on each of the Mk8s. This unit is designed to transport one or two divers and a significant neutral payload. This Twin DPV also makes an excellent camera platform for underwater filming.

     Each Mk8 DPV can be removed easily and quickly from the central platform permitting each diver to operate the unit independently. Upon completion of tasks, the DPVs can be reattached to the sled quickly and easily.

     A single operator can control the operation of the Mk8-Twin through the standard controls on each unit. At slow speeds, the Mk8-Twin can turn within its own radius.

     The Mk8-Twin is also available in the ER version employing Silver Zinc batteries. The resultant increased range is 2.0 to 3.5 times.

    *NOTE: Performance tests were conducted using a 150 lbs. (68 kg) diver (weighted) in a single tank scuba configuration. Speed and range will vary based on: current or flow, diver volume, diver equipment configuration, diver posture and battery charge status. Specifications are subject to change without notice.

     Farallon USA neither suggests nor endorses diving in excess of the recommended sport diver limit of 130 ft. (40 m).
