PADI
Dry Suit Course
Wanna stay warm and toasty on a dive? Then dive dry. Yes! Unlike a wetsuit, a dry suit seals you off from the outside water and that keeps you warm! Even in surprisingly cold water.
 The Fun Part:
Number of dives: 2 dives
Dry suits let you dive more challenging dive sites, and extend
your dive season. When you have the right cold water scuba diving attire,
you can stand up to the elements and take advantage of the generally better
visibility offered by winter months—especially at inland dive sites
such as quarries, lakes, sinkholes and caves etc. As a dry suit diver, you’re equipped to scuba dive some of the world’s incredible dive sites
in the world’s cooler regions that are best enjoyed
in a dry suit even in their warmer months.
