Drysuit Course
June 21
$350
There is no excuse not to dive in cooler water. All you need is the right thermal protection for the conditions. Drysuit diving is all about staying comfortable in relation to the temperatures you want to dive in – both in and out of the water.
Here in Australia’s temperate waters, we want to ensure that we are not being driven out of the water due to the cold. Diving in a drysuit is the best way to make sure this doesn’t happen. There are a range of different materials and undergarments to suit every diver’s thermal needs.
Once you have mastered diving in a drysuit, you can extend your diving season, visit cooler dive sites worldwide, stay for longer in cooler waters, or just stay comfortable on multi-dive days. Don’t miss out on seeing amazing wildlife or seasonal changes on your favourite dive sites.
