Abstract

An underwater dive plane includes a central rotating hub, rotating wing holders on either side of the central rotating hub, and wings attached to the wing holders. The attachment is accomplished by a threaded bolt inserted through the center of the central rotating hub and through the center of the wing holders in a way that permits the wing holders to rotate around the threaded bolt. A rope threaded through a hole in the central rotating hub leads to a watercraft and allows towing a person holding onto the dive plane. The rotating wings allow the diver to control the angle and direction of the dive.
