Specialty
Dry Suit Diver
Learn to dive in a dry suit — ideal for cold water and extended dives.
Why take this course
- Learn the buoyancy control specific to a dry suit
- Opens the door to diving colder water anywhere in the world
- Just 2 dives for a skill that expands where you can dive
The Dry Suit Diver specialty teaches you to dive in a dry suit — gear that keeps you completely dry underwater, ideal for colder water or extended dives. It's a different skill from diving in a wetsuit: a dry suit has its own buoyancy dynamics, which need to be learned hands-on.
Across two dives, you practice fitting the equipment, dry-suit-specific buoyancy control, and the care and maintenance needed to extend the gear's lifespan.
