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

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.

To prevent undesirable experiences, before scheduling a drysuit test or a full training course, you need to make sure that drysuits in your size are available, the same goes for the undersuit. We invite you to download the measurements instructions sheet and our drysuit measurements form to fill out and send by email

Special deals for those who wish to purchase a new drysuit in combination with the training course.
