Dry Suit Speciality
Dry Suits are great as they allow you to dive in the slightly colder waters found around the UK and several other places around the world. The problem is that Dry Suits are filled with air requiring a different set of skills to and more thought. During your dry suit course, your instructor will teach how much air to put into your suit and how to control the air along with your buoyancy.
Most of our PADI Speciality courses are very personal experiences often on a one-to-one basis with one of our award-winning team, if a suitable date isn’t shown below, please call the office on 01243 202200 to discuss arranging a suitable date.

Dry Suits are expensive & a very personal thing, so we would always recommend that if you are considering purchasing a dry suit you first undertake the e-Learning so that you have all the background knowledge to make an informed purchase. Once your suit has been delivered you can get the very best out of the in-water part of the course as it will be tailored especially to you and the type of suit you will be diving in.
If you are not quite, we do have a very limited (but growing) number of rental suite’s.
As detailed above this course consists of two parts the theory or e-Learning where in the comfort of your own home and at your own speed you learn the theory behind what you will be doing in Open Water, then the practical part where under the encouragement of one of our PADI professionals you will perform the new skills over 3 dives (1 confined & 2 Open Water).
