Description
Do you want to extend your dive season? Do you want to dive amazing places like Silfra in Iceland? A dry suit allows you to extend your limits, and opens up brand new possibilities for scuba diving to your world.
Dry suits are also used in tropical water during the cooler months. This course allows the student to develop the knowledge and skills to properly use a dry suit. It will discuss the types of dry suits, accessories, maintenance and how to make basic repairs. Dive longer and stay warmer in a dry suit!
When you purchase a dry suit from Scuba Network, your in-water training for certification is free!*
The class is 1 day at Dutch Springs or off the Long Island shore. It includes a confined water session plus 2 dives.
eLearning: $99.50
Dry Suit Diver Training: $299.50 Free with purchase of Dry Suit!
Upon successful completion of this course, graduates may engage in dry suit diving activities without direct supervision of the SDI Instructor* so long as the following limits are adhered to:
- The diving activities approximate those of training
- The areas of activities approximate those of training
- Environmental conditions approximate those of training
Note: Divers under the age of 18 must participate in underwater navigation diving activities with a parent, guardian, or dive professional.
The SDI Dry Suit Diver certification counts towards a single specialty rating to complete the SDI Advanced Diver Development program or SDI Master Scuba Diver Development program.
*If renting a dry suit, measurements will be taken, and forwarded to Dutch Springs where you can arrange a rental. You assume all responsibility for pickup, payment, care, and safe return of dry suit to the renter.
If your dry suit is purchased from elsewhere, we unfortunately cannot accept the liability and warranty issues that arise from third party purchases of dry suits, and are unable to accommodate training at this time.
