Stay Warm. Dive Longer. Explore More.

Don’t let cold water limit your adventures. The PADI Dry Suit Diver Specialty gives you the skills and confidence to dive comfortably in colder conditions, allowing you to extend your diving season and explore incredible dive sites all year round.

At Zero Limits Diving, we’ll show you how to dive safely and confidently in a dry suit so you can stay warm, comfortable, and focused on the adventure beneath the surface.

Prerequisites

To enrol in the PADI Dry Suit Diver Specialty course, you must:

Be at least 10 years old.
Be a PADI (Junior) Open Water Diver (or hold an equivalent certification from another recognised training agency).

Course Outline

During one confined water session and two open water dives, you’ll learn how to:

Choose the right dry suit and undergarments.
Correctly put on and remove your dry suit.
Master buoyancy control while diving in a dry suit.
Safely plan and conduct dry suit dives.
Care for and maintain your dry suit equipment.

The first dive of this specialty may also count as an Adventure Dive towards your PADI Advanced Open Water Diver certification. Completing this course also brings you one step closer to achieving the prestigious PADI Master Scuba Diver rating.

Equipment

You’ll use your standard scuba equipment together with:

Dry suit
Appropriate thermal undergarments
Weight system suited for dry suit diving
Standard scuba equipment

Your Zero Limits Diving Instructor will help you choose the correct equipment and teach you how to use it safely and comfortably.
