Dry Suit Diver:
When staying warm in cold water is important, get
with the program – the PADI Dry Suit Diver program. To enter the Dry Suit
Diver program, you’ll need at least your PADI Open Water Diver (Junior
Open Water Diver or equivalent) certification and be 12 or older.
During
the Dry Suit Diver program, you’ll go on one confined water dive and two
open water dives, in addition to covering the knowledge and techniques of
dry suit diving with emphasis placed on the use of dry suits -- operation
principles, care and diving techniques. The following topics are included
in your PADI Dry Suit Diver program:
 The planning,
organization, procedures, techniques, problems
and hazards of dry suit diving.
Proper procedures for
buoyancy control.
Ascent and descent
technique training.
Routine, user-level,
preventative maintenance and performance
checks on dry suits.
If a Dry Suit
elective dive is conducted during the
PADI
Adventure Diver ,
it may count toward the certification requirements for this specialty at
the discretion of the instructor.
