PADI DRYSUIT DIVER COURSE

WHAT YOU WILL LEARN

The first thing you’ll discover is which dry suit style and accompanying undergarments are right for you and the diving you’ll do. You will also learn how to take care of your dry suit.

During two open water dives, you will practice

Putting on and taking off your dry suit with minimal assistance.

Mastering buoyancy control using your dry suit.

Dive safety procedures when using a dry suit.

HOW IS THE COURSE RUN

Book your course online on the Andark website on the dates convenient to you.

BEFORE YOUR COURSE STARTS

Receive your booking confirmation from us and complete your PADI e-learning material before the course begins. The E-learning time commitment is 2-4 hours.

Important Information

  • PADI Drysuit Speciality E-learning and use of all the expensive scuba equipment (Drysuits, weights, cylinders, BCD and regulator). If you wish to bring your own drysuit please do so, or a great range of drysuits is available from the Andark store at preferential prices for Andark students. View the range here.

Clearly a dry suit is necessary along with your basic scuba equipment

Gloves, thermals, hood and boots are necessary when diving in colder waters but also based on your comfort.

Your PADI Instructor will explain other gear or equipment options you may need to dive comfortably with your dry suit. For example, because you’re more buoyant in a dry suit than in a wetsuit, you may want a different weight system setup, like a harness.
