“When the shadows grow longer, the days grow shorter, and the waters grow colder—that’s when the season for drysuit divers begins.”
Anyone who owns a “drysuit” and has mastered the technique will have great diving opportunities in the fall, winter, and spring, because visibility during the cold season or in cold waters is usually much better than in the summer. So you can dive undisturbed through clear water in your “drysuit.”
In the SSI DRY SUIT DIVING program, you’ll learn about the benefits of a dry suit and gain expertise on different suit types, valves, choosing a base layer, and dry suit accessories.During the dives, you’ll learn the techniques and proper use of the dry suit, as well as hands-on maintenance and care.
As a drysuit diver, you can dive in cold waters all year round while staying warm and comfortable. Only dry suit diving opens up the unique underwater landscapes of cold water to you, such as dives among icebergs in the remote Arctic or fascinating places teeming with life despite the cold.
Dry suits are also great when diving multiple times a day. Instead of struggling to get out of a cold, wet wetsuit every time, dry suit divers can simply leave their suits on.
The best way to learn dry suit diving is through the SSI Dry Suit Diver Specialty Program. Here, you’ll gain the necessary knowledge and learn all the skills to dive safely and comfortably in a dry suit. This includes handling the specialized equipment and learning how to deal with challenging situations and problems related to the dry suit.
