PADI Drysuit Diver

Experience the freedom and comfort of diving in cold water with the PADI Drysuit Diver course. This specialty course allows you to extend your scuba diving season and explore new dive locations that are otherwise too cold for traditional wetsuits. You will learn how to safely use a dry suit, which keeps you insulated from the water while maintaining mobility. By mastering buoyancy control with the dry suit, you can enjoy longer dives, more precise movements underwater, and discover the thrill of exploring new dive sites with confidence and safety.

Discover the essential skills for dry suit diving through hands-on practice and expert guidance from a professional PADI instructor. You will learn how to properly put on and remove your dry suit, adjust your weight system, and follow safety procedures while diving in colder waters. During two guided dives, you will apply these skills in both confined and open water environments, building confidence and competence. This course also teaches you how to care for and maintain your dry suit to ensure it performs optimally for many dives to come. By completing the course, you gain a PADI Dry Suit Diver certification, opening the door to more diverse diving experiences around the world.
