PADI Dry Suit Speciality
Step into cold‑water confidence with our PADI Dry Suit Specialty. In just one weekend, you’ll master dry‑suit technique—from assembly and proper weighting to advanced buoyancy, gas‑management and emergency procedures—so you can stay warm, safe and in control on every dive.
Before heading into the water, you’ll complete the PADI Dry Suit Diver e‑Learning module online to lay the groundwork for your training. Once that’s done, we’ll meet for a confined‑water pool session to practice adding and dumping air in your suit, followed by a day in open water with two more dives to really put your new skills to the test!
