SSI Dry Suit Diving (Trockentauchen)
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 various
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
practices.As a drysuit diver, you can dive warm and
comfortable in cold waters all year round. Only dry suit diving opens up
the unique underwater landscapes of cold water to you, such as dives
among the icebergs in the remote Arctic or fascinating places
that, despite the cold, are teeming with life.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 you need to dive safely and comfortably in a dry suit
. This includes handling the specialized equipment as well as
how to deal with challenging situations and problems with the
