Diver propulsion devices and methods of propelling the devices and divers upon and beneath the sea are presented. A diver propulsion device is comprised of a wing buoyant in water, an electric motor propulsion system, a leash interconnecting the wing and diver, which leash may integrate control circuitry of the motor, photovoltaics atop the wing, and, batteries, each electrically connecting the motors, fins attaching the wing provide hydrofoil flight stabilization, and foot constraints attaching a deck of the wing. The wing is a hydrofoil, and the diver stands and lies upon the deck of the wing, and, during hydrofoil flight, the diver is substantially above the sea and the wing is seaborne. In hydrofoil flight, the device may be motor propelled, or, by the diver heaving and pitching the device, or, by both methods simultaneously. Undersea, the device tows the diver by motor power energized photovoltaically, and, or, by battery.
