The best way to get into dry suit diving is the SSI Dry Suit Diver Specialty course. Here, you’ll gain the necessary knowledge and learn all the skills to dive safely and comfortably in a dry suit.

During the Hemmoor tour, you can simply go diving with us or continue your training and professional development. Here, we offer the practical components of the Night Diving, Wreck Diving, and Deep Diving courses, as well as training content from the Dive Guide course. This tour involves on-site costs and our service fees. On-site costs, such as lake fees, tank fills, and lodging, must be paid on-site. Service fees are payable to scubalu.de. Club members and course participants receive a reduced service fee, as this allows us to offset a portion of the costs incurred. For the Hemmoor weekend, these fees amount to €60.00 for club members and €100.00 for non-club members. Club members participating in courses are completely exempt from service fees. Why are service fees charged? Even before booking a trip or tour, we incur several hours of work—and thus costs—due to planning, detailed coordination, and organizational matters. We also have to cover on-site expenses, such as lodging, travel, etc. We must therefore be compensated for at least a portion of these costs.
