Dry Suit Diver

Expand your boundaries. Dive more places. The PADI Dry Suit specialty course will set you on your way to exploring new worlds you never imagined.

What the Course Covers

In the PADI Dry Suit Specialty course, you will learn how to safely dive a dry suit. In the classroom you will learn:

  • Proper care and maintenance of a dry suit
  • All the information in the PADI Dry Suit Diver manual.
  • How to properly don and doff a dry suit
  • What constitutes a properly fitted dry suit
  • How to prepare a suit for use

Whether you're looking to purchase your own dry suit or to rent one of ours, Aquatic Adventures can help you understand the various types of dry suits and what options are available. We will show you the latest seals, dry gloves, pockets, and zipper options to ensure you get the suit that meets your needs.

Then it’s off to the pool where you will get a chance to practice basic buoyancy skills. No more using the BCD underwater. We will show you how to hover using just your dry suit. We will practice dealing with stuck inflators, excessive air in the feet, and other safety-related situations.

Once you are comfortable with the new skills, it’s off to the lake where you will do two exciting dives in a dry suit. Here you will get a taste of what it is like to dive in dry suit under real conditions.

For more information on dry suit diving, we recommend you read the article Start Dry Suit Diving. This article discusses the advantages of dry suit diving and considerations on suit selection and options.
