Dry Suit Diver

The SDI Dry Suit Diver course

Scuba diving with a dry suit is useful at many types of dive sites. A dry suit is necessary when ice diving and the more comfortable option throughout most of the year here in Michigan. Many technical divers wear dry suits on almost every dive due to the length of the time spent underwater. The longer the diver is in the water, the more thermal protection is required.

The SDI Dry Suit Diver Course will open up a whole new world of diving to you. Many diving environments are better experienced in a dry suit.
