Dry Suit Diver Speciality Course
Would like to stay warm and toasty on a dive and stay dry? Unlike a wetsuit, a dry suit seals you off from the outside water and that keeps you warm! Even in surprisingly cold water.
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 and lakes. 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.
DM Scuba only use the best neoprene dry suits on the market from OThree, a UK based company based in Portland in Dorset.
What You Learn
Gain the knowledge and skills to safely don, dive with and properly maintain and store a dry-suit. Get introduced to the different types of suits so you can make a very informed decision if considering purchasing a dry suit. You'll learn: -
• Dry suit buoyancy control skills
• Dry suit maintenance, storage and basic repair
• Undergarment (fleece or overall-type garments worn under the dry suit) options
• Practical skills you’ll master in this course:

Your Next Adventure
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 our TEC 40 entry level Technical diving course.
Location
One day completing two dives plus one evening in the pool. A dry suit orientation will be held in our pool and the Open Water dives will normally held at an inland dive site around Bristol.
