PADI Open Water Diver + Dry Suit speciality certification

We specially offer an integrated open water diver course including the Dry Suit Specialty Diver certification.

For short, you will receive:

• Study materials both for the OWD and to the Dry Suit Specialty
• All together three evenings of theory learning (2 towards OWD and 1 towards Dry Suit Diver)
• Three pool diving sessions to learn and develop your diving skills
• One separate pool diving session to practise the use of a dry suit
• All together five open water dives, which will be done on two separate days. Four of these dives will take you up to Open Water Diver and satisfactorily completing also the fifth dive will certify you as a Dry Suit specialist diver.

All the above sessions are calculated in the price, however, if you and your instructor think that more practise would be needed to meet the performance requirements towards certification, we have a separate price list for extras. These matters will be disussed with the student and instructor if needed.
