PADI Dry Suit Diver

Why should I take this course?

New to diving in Finland? Want to stay warm while diving? Want to extend your scuba diving season? Then dive with a dry suit. A dry suit seals you off from the water and keeps you comfortable, even in surprisingly cold water. There is incredible diving in the world’s cooler regions and in some areas, conditions are even better in colder months. Becoming a dry suit diver allows you to expand your boundaries and dive more places, more often.

What will you learn?

The first thing you’ll discover is which dry suit style and accompanying undergarments are right for you and the diving you’ll do. Then you’ll learn how to take care of your dry suit. During two open water dives, in addition to one confined water dive, you’ll practice:

• Putting on and taking off your dry suit with minimal assistance.
• Mastering buoyancy control using your dry suit.
• Dive safety procedures when using a dry suit.

The first dive of this PADI Specialty Diver course may credit as an Adventure Dive toward your Advanced Open Water Diver certification – ask your instructor about earning credit and how this certifivcation helps you towards the most wanted Master Scuba Diver -certification.
