Drysuit Diver
The Drysuit Diver course provides divers with the knowledge and skills to safely and comfortably use a dry suit for diving. This course covers topics like dry suit selection, proper donning and doffing procedures, buoyancy control specific to dry suits, and emergency procedures unique to dry suit diving. Some divers find drysuits are more comfortable, particularly on surface intervals, compared to wetsuits while diving.

Why Choose Us?
We specialize in flexible scheduling and private classes with patient, individualized instruction from highly experienced instructors. We have pricing set up for one person with discounted pricing for private groups. Our course is not rushed and you WILL get substantive time in the water to practice your skills. Public classes tend to train many students at once with limited ability for direct and individualized attention from the instructor. ​
