Do you want to stay warm on a dive? Then go dry diving. Yes! Unlike a wetsuit, a drysuit insulates you from the outside water and keeps you warm! Even in surprisingly cold water.
Drysuits allow you to dive in more challenging sites while extending your diving season. When you wear the proper cold water diving gear, you can combat the elements and generally benefit from the better visibility that the winter months offer — especially at inland dive sites such as dams, lakes, sinkholes, caverns, etc. As a drysuit diver, you are equipped to dive some of the world's most incredible dive sites in the coldest regions of the planet where a drysuit is best enjoyed even in its warmest months.
Gain the knowledge and skills to safely dress, dive, remove and store your drysuit. Learn about the different types of suits so you can make an informed decision if you decide to purchase a drysuit.
You will learn:
- Dry suit buoyancy control techniques.
- Drysuit maintenance, storage and basic repairs.
- Insulating underwear options (wool or any type of underwear worn under the dry suit).
