Description
About the Course: Unlike wetsuits, drysuits are filled with air. During your drysuit course, your instructor will teach you how to control the air in your drysuit along with your buoyancy. You’ll also learn about different types of drysuits, basic drysuit repairs and maintenance.
How to Start Dry Suit Diving: During one pool session and two open water dives, you’ll learn how to comfortably and confidently dive in a drysuit. An experienced instructor will help you dial in your buoyancy and shorten the learning curve.
Learn How To:
- Avoid common drysuit diving problems.
- Care for your drysuit.
