Courses and Training

Unlike wetsuits, dry suits are filled with air. During your dry suits course, your instructor will teach you how to control the air in your dry suits along with your buoyancy.

You’ll also learn about different types of dry suits, and basic dry suit repairs and maintenance.

eLearning covers self-study material. Your dive shop will charge training fees.
