Becoming a dry suit diver allows you to expand your boundaries and dive more places, more often. This suit seals you off from the water and keeps you comfortable, even in surprisingly cold water.
In addition to reviewing dive safety procedures when using a dry suit, you'll learn:
- Which dry suit style and accompanying undergarments are right for you.
- How to take care of your dry suit.
- Putting on and taking off your dry suit with minimal assistance.
- Mastering buoyancy control when using a dry suit.
