Dry
Suit Diver (Three options):

photography, where long periods of stillness and concentration are the
norm, the added comfort of diving ‘dry’ may be essential.
This course is designed as a safe introduction to dry suit diving, addressing
the extra safety precautions that need to be considered compared to wet
suit diving. The idea being to provide the opportunity for supervised,
controlled exercises in the techniques involved in avoiding buoyancy problems,
particularly uncontrolled feet first ascents.
The course consists of: 2 guided dives inclusive of 1 confined water orientation
where required and 1 theory session, normally conducted over 1 day.
For those who have never used a Dry suit and are inexperienced in UK sea
conditions: 3 guided dives inclusive of 1 confined water orientation and
1 theory session. Conducted over 2 days this ensures every confidence
and competence in dry suit usage.
Prerequisites: To take part you must be qualified to at least PADI Junior
Open Water or equivalent. Min. age 12 years.
