We’ve all been there: you’re diving, the conditions are perfect, and you’re having an amazing time, but then the cold sets in. It’s hard to focus on the beauty of the dive when all you can think about is how chilly you feel. Whether you’re exploring a vibrant coral reef or exploring the depths of a wreck, the cold can be a real buzzkill. While wetsuits do a decent job of slowing down your body’s heat loss, when it comes to long-lasting comfort, there’s simply no comparison to a drysuit.Now, there’s a common misconception that drysuits are only necessary for diving in cold, temperate, or icy waters—but that’s a myth. Drysuits aren’t just for the frigid depths of the Arctic or deep-sea expeditions. More and more divers, even in warm, tropical locations, are discovering that the benefits of going dry are hard to beat. Whether you're diving in the warm waters of the Caribbean or the moderate temperatures of the Mediterranean, a drysuit can make the whole experience more enjoyable by keeping you dry and comfortable.
What’s the appeal? Drysuits create a barrier between you and the water, so you stay warmer for longer, regardless of the water temperature. They give you full control over thermal protection by allowing you to add or remove layers underneath, offering far greater versatility than a wetsuit. The result is less body heat loss, more comfort, and less distraction from the elements.
And once you’ve experienced the comfort and freedom of drysuit diving, you’ll understand why so many divers say, "Once you go dry, you never go back." It's not just about warmth—it's about diving without the constant nagging of cold and being able to enjoy the dive, focus on the marine life, and dive for longer periods of time. So, whether you're diving in a tropical paradise or chilly depths, don’t let the cold hold you back—go dry, and dive comfortably all year round.
The Course: To dive safely with a drysuit, specialized training is essential. You’ll need to learn the proper techniques for using a drysuit effectively and safely.
The course begins with an online eLearning course (1-2hrs), followed by hands-on practice in a controlled, confined water environment (2hrs pool) where you'll get comfortable with the suit and its functions.
From there, you'll progress to open water dives (2 dives), applying your new skills in real-world conditions.By the end of the course, you’ll have a solid understanding of how to properly control your buoyancy while wearing a drysuit, how to use and maintain your suit, and how to troubleshoot and address the unique challenges that come with drysuit diving.
Whether you’re a seasoned diver looking to expand your skills or a beginner, this course will ensure you dive confidently and safely in any conditions.Prerequisites
