DRY SUIT DIVER

Want to stay warm? Want to extend your scuba diving season? Becoming a dry suit diver allows you to expand your boundaries and dive more places, year round and keep dry. A dry suit seals you off from the water and keeps you comfortable, even in surprisingly cold water. There is incredible diving in the world’s cooler regions and here in our local lakes and rivers. Some areas, conditions are even better in colder months.

THE FUN PART

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. Diving in cold water generally makes diving in warm water that much easier too.

YOUR NEXT ADVENTURE

Scuba diving with a dry suit is useful when diving many types of dive sites. A dry suit is necessary when ice diving and sometimes while altitude diving. Many technical divers wear dry suits on almost every dive due to the length of the time spent underwater. The longer the diver is in the water, the more thermal protection is required. If technical diving is something that interests you, check out the Discover Tec Diving experience.

The PADI Dry Suit Diver certification credits toward the PADI Master Scuba Diver rating.
