We have a limited number of dry suits, so if we have your size you can rent one, however if we don’t have your size you will need to acquire your own.
For this diving speciality course you won’t scuba dive deeper than 18m.
No it doesn’t keep you completely dry, your face and hands are not covered by your dry suit so they will get wet otherwise the rest of you should stay dry.
Yes! It is very comfortable! You shouldn’t be cold at all..
If you get cold easily and you want to make your diving experience more comfortable and enjoyable, then this is for you. In fact, you may never go back to a normal wet suit!
Dry suits are expensive, but the benefit is that a dry suit that is well looked after should last a very long time, so the benefits far outweigh the cost.
With the proper training that you get from this course it is not difficult. Our Instructors are extremely well trained and very experienced in Drysuit teaching.
A drysuit creates a waterproof barrier between you and the surrounding water, while an insulating undergarment system helps keep you warm. Air can be added to the suit to manage compression and maintain comfort and buoyancy as you change depth.
Yes, drysuits can be used in different water temperatures, although the type of suit and undergarment system should be appropriate for the conditions. Drysuits are particularly useful when thermal protection is important or when diving in colder water.
The course covers appropriate procedures for dealing with common drysuit related problems, including managing situations where water enters the suit. You will learn how to respond calmly and apply appropriate diving techniques.
The Drysuit Diver Specialty focuses on safe and confident drysuit use rather than increasing your maximum depth. You should always dive within the limits of your existing certification, training, experience, equipment, and conditions.
