So you want to stay warm?
The PADI Dry Suit Diver specialty lets you remain comfortable in colder water and opens access to excellent diving in the UK and other cooler regions.
Learn to use the dry suit as part of your buoyancy system: one lake day with a shallow orientation dive to practise the required dry suit orientation skills, followed by two open water dives.
