PADI Dry Suit Specialty Course
With the PADI Dry Suit Specialty, you can stay warm, comfortable, and dive with confidence in colder water. This course teaches you the skills needed to safely dive in a dry suit, allowing you to extend your diving season and explore cooler environments in comfort. Under the guidance of a PADI Instructor, you'll gain hands-on experience using a dry suit while learning proper buoyancy control, safety procedures, and equipment care.
Benefits of Diving Deep
The Dry Suit Diver Specialty is one of PADI's most popular specialty courses, especially for Pacific Northwest divers. With a dry suit, you'll stay warmer, reduce fatigue, and enjoy longer dives throughout the year. It's the perfect course for anyone looking to explore Oregon's coastal reefs, Washington's world-class dive sites, or any cold-water destination with greater comfort and confidence.
This course can also be added to any other course we offer.
