The PADI Dry Suit Diver Speciality Course is recommended to those who want to stay dry on a dive. A dry suit seals you off from the cold and keeps you dry even when diving in surprisingly cold waters. After completing the course you will be able to not only dive the warmer waters of the world, but in any other challenging and cold conditions. By doing the PADI Dry Suit Diver Speciality Course you will be able to extend the dive season by being able to dive during the colder winter months or in areas known for cold water diving.
By wearing the right cold water scuba diving gear you are able to face the elements and dive in the colder waters during winter months. The advantage of diving in cold water is better visibility offered by inland dive sites such as quarries, lakes, sinkholes and caves. As a PADI Dry Suit Diver you will be able to enjoy some of the world’s most incredible dive sites located in the cooler regions of the world. These sites are best enjoyed in a dry suit, even during the warmer months.
During the PADI Dry Suit Diver Speciality Course you learn:
- Dry suit buoyancy control skills
- Dry suit maintenance, storage and basic repair
- Undergarment (fleece or overall-type garments worn under the dry suit) options
