About the Course
Unlike wetsuits, drysuits are filled with air. During your drysuit course, your instructor will teach you how to control the air in your drysuit along with your buoyancy.
You’ll also learn about different types of drysuits, basic drysuit repairs and maintenance.
What You’ll Learn
- Avoid common drysuit diving problems
- Choose a drysuit and undergarments
- Care for your drysuit
How to Start Drysuit Diving
During one pool session and two open water dives, you’ll learn how to comfortably and confidently dive in a drysuit. An experienced instructor will help you dial in your buoyancy and shorten the learning curve.
Step 1 – PADI eLearning
PADI eLearning makes it easy to fit scuba lessons into a busy schedule. Complete the independent study part of your course whenever, wherever it’s convenient for you. Work at your own pace, online or offline, using a computer or mobile device.
- eLearning time commitment: 2-4 hours
Step 2 – With Your Instructor
You’ll practice taking your drysuit on and off, determine how much weight you need, and master basic drysuit skills in a pool before making two open water dives.
- Total time commitment: 2-3 days
