PADI Dry Suit Diver Specialty Course

OADC/PADI Certification Courses

Getting cold while diving does not have to be a necessary part of your adventures! Just replace your wetsuit with a dry suit! It is the ultimate way of diving, especially during those chilly winter months. A dry suit keeps you warm by trapping air between your body and the suit. The warmth further increased by a layer of undergarment that is similar to ski undergarments. During this class you will learn the proper care and use of a dry suit first in our pool, than in the ocean.  

(2 dives + pool session)  Price $235

Prerequisite: Open Water Diver Certification
