Drysuits are one of the most essential pieces of diving equipment any diver could possess for UK diving. They ensure comfort & warmth in temperate waters, extending dive times and the diving season.

​

The PADI Dry Suit Diver Specialty course is a great way to introduce you to drysuit diving techniques under the guidance of a PADI instructor.

​

During the course you will be taught various skills including; how to respond to a free flowing inflator valve, how to achieve neutral buoyancy, what to do if your suit floods & how to determine your correct weighting..

Now that you have perfected the use of a dry-suit, why not put these skills to good use by enrolling on the PADI Deep Diver course. The deeper you dive the colder it becomes and the need for greater thermal protection increases. As a certified dry-suit diver you will have already completed the necessary training to ensure comfort & warmth during deeper dives to a maximum of 40 metres.

​

If you have completed 5 PADI Specialties & the PADI Rescue Diver course and have 50 logged dives, you qualify to register as a PADI Master Scuba Diver, the highest non-professional diver rating within PADI.
