Dry Suit Diver | Price: $149
(see course schedule)

When staying warm in cold water is important, get with the program - the PADI Dry Suit Diver program. To enter the Dry Suit Diver program, you'll require a PADI Open Water Diver or Junior Open Water Diver certification (or equivalent) and be at least 12 years old.

During the Dry Suit Diver program, you'll go on one confined water dive and two open water dives. You will learn the techniques of dry suit diving with emphasis placed on the use of dry suits, specifically operation principles, care and diving techniques.

The following topics are included in your PADI Dry Suit Diver program:

  • the planning, organization, procedures, techniques, problems and hazards of dry suit diving
  • proper procedures for buoyancy control
  • ascent and descent technique training
  • routine, user-level, preventative maintenance and performance checks on dry suits

If a Dry Suit elective dive is conducted during the Adventures In Diving, it may count toward the certification requirements for this specialty at the discretion of the instructor.
