Dry Suit Diver
Would you like to stay warm and toasty on a dive? Then dive dry. Yes! Unlike a wetsuit, a dry suit seals you off from the outside water and that keeps you warm. Diving dry extends your dive season by allowing you to dive comfortably early and late in the season. Course does not include dry suit rental.
