An underwater propulsion belt that propels a user underwater and includes a plurality of gates, each gate has a channel. A pump is found in each gate and is controlled independently form the other gates. A power supply powers the pumps to pump water in either direction through the channel. The underwater propulsion belt further includes circuitry configured to receive diver information from the user and from one or more sensors. The underwater propulsion belt controls, based on the information, the movement of the user. The user's position is calculated based on whether the user is in an upright or prone position, and maintains, based on the calculation, the user's balance.
