Tired of Getting Cold? Well, no more!

Nothing can shorten a day of diving more than getting cold. How often have you been too cold to do that extra dive? How would you like to be able to dive all day and always be warm and dry? Dry Suits slow heat loss by twenty times. So, no only do you get to dive more times in a day and feel better during and after the dive, but you spend less per dive for your thermal protection in the long run. The Dry Suit Diver Course will provide you with the necessary skill to safely dive with your dry suit.

The course covers:

• Basic Thermal Consideration
• Wet Suit & Dry Suit Comparison, Undergarments
• BDCs
• Dry Suit Care
• Dry Suit Storage & Packing

The course is designed to orient you to diving in your dry suit.

The course does not include the use of a dry suit. It is highly recommended that you train in your own suit.
The course consists of pool training. Suit fitting, orientation and two open water dives.

You will be awarded the PADI Dry Suit Diver Certification upon successful completion of the course.

You will find that diving dry is one of the best things you can do for yourself.
