Dry Suit Diver

PADI SPECIALTY COURSES

There is incredible diving in the world’s cooler regions and in some areas, conditions are even better in colder months.

A dry suit provides insulation from the cold and keeps you comfortable even in extremely cool underwater environments and is worn by divers, boaters, water sports enthusiasts, and others who work or play in or near cold or contaminated water.. If you’re ready to take the plunge into drysuit diving, there are a few considerations and a slightly amended diving style you’ll need to become familiar with.

The training allows you to become accustomed to drysuit diving under the guidance of a diving professional, as well as to learn about the suits themselves, their valves, undergarments and accessories. You’ll also learn basic repair and maintenance of drysuits.

Becoming a dry suit diver allows you to expand your boundaries and dive more places, more often.
