PADI Dry Suit Diver

PADI Dry Suit Diver

Want to stay warm? Want to extend your scuba diving season? Then dive dry. A dry suit seals you off from the water and keeps you comfortable, even in surprisingly cold water. During winter there is incredible diving in Portofino and in many places around the world, conditions are even better in colder months. Becoming a dry suit diver allows you to expand your boundaries and dive more places, more often.

The first thing you’ll discover is which dry suit style and accompanying undergarments are right for you and the diving you’ll do. Then you’ll learn how to take care of your dry suit. During two dives, in addition to a confined water dive, you’ll practice:

  • Putting on and taking off your dry suit with minimal assistance.
  • Mastering buoyancy control using your dry suit.
  • Dive safety procedures when using a dry suit.

The new BARE X-Mission Evolution

The drysuits used and sold in our center are represented by the brand's latest generation models BARE®.

To prevent undesirable experiences, before scheduling your PADI Dry Suit course, you should make sure that drysuits and undersuits in your size are available via our online measurement form.

While the elasticity of wet suits allows to fit a wide range of people in one size, dry suits must fit perfectly, to ensure optimal watertightness, to allow adequate comfort and proper mobility.
