As a dry suit diver you can dive warm and comfortable in cold waters all year round. Only dry suit diving opens you up to the special underwater landscapes of cold water, such as dives on the icebergs in the remote Arctic or fascinating places teeming with life despite the cold. Dry suits are also great if you dive several times a day. Instead of struggling to get out of the cold, wet wetsuit each time, the dry suit diver simply leaves his suit on. The best way to dry suit dive is the SSI Dry Suit Diver Specialty program. Here you will gain the necessary knowledge and learn all the skills to dive safely and comfortably in a dry suit. This includes how to use the special equipment and how to deal with difficult situations and problems with the dry suit. At the end of the course you will receive the SSI Dry Suit Diving Specialty certification.

The Indoordiver course teaches the basics of diving under controlled conditions before going into open water. Upon successful completion, the diver receives a certificate that qualifies them for certain dives in confined water. What is an indoor diver course? An indoor diver course is a diving course that takes place in a controlled environment such as a swimming pool or indoor diving center. The course teaches the basic diving skills and knowledge required for safe diving. Difference to Open Water Diver: The main difference to the Open Water Diver course is that all dives in the Indoor Diver course take place in a swimming pool or an artificial body of water, rather than in open water.

Additional open water dives are often required to obtain full open water certification.

Controlled environment: Instructors have full control over the conditions and can customize learning progress. Preparation for open water dives: The course teaches the basic skills and knowledge required for open water diving. Ideal for beginners: The Indoor Diver course is a good introduction for anyone who wants to start diving without having to jump into deep water immediately. Faster entry: An indoor diver course is often quicker and easier to complete than a full open water diver course. Requirements for an indoor diver course: Minimum age: The minimum age for the course is usually 10 years. Health: It is important that the diver is healthy and fit to dive. Motivation: The willingness to learn the basics of diving and to practice under supervision is also important. In summary, the Indoor Diver course is a good way to learn the basics of diving in a safe and controlled environment in preparation for open water diving.
