PADI Dry Suit Diver
Want to stay warm and toasty on a dive? Then stay out of the water. What? Stay out of the water? Yes! Unlike a wetsuit, a dry suit seals you off from the outside water. In the PADI Dry Suit Diver Specialty course, you’ll learn how to use a dry suit. And that keeps you warm! Even in very cold water.
What do I need to start?
You need to be at least 10 years old and certified as a PADI Junior Open Water Diver, PADI Open Water Diver or hold a qualifying certification from another organisation. You will also need to complete the following forms:

What will I do?
This course covers the knowledge, skills and techniques for dry suit diving including the following:
• Don and doff techniques specific to your dry suit.
