The Drysuit Diver Certification introduces students to the skills, knowledge, and confidence needed to dive comfortably in colder water environments. Through a combination of classroom learning, a confined-water orientation, and open-water dives, participants learn proper drysuit selection and fit, buoyancy control techniques, maintenance and care, and how to manage drysuit-specific emergencies. By the end of the course, students will be able to safely plan and conduct drysuit dives, extend their dive season year-round, and enjoy new underwater adventures in cooler climates.
