Dry Suit Diver Specialty (a 2 dive specialty):

Counts toward the Master Scuba Diver Certification

What do you need to start?   Must be at least 12 years old and certified as a Junior Open Water Diver or an Open Water Diver or have a qualifying certification from another training organization to take the course.

Why take the Dry Suit Diver Specialty?  If you want to see the spectacular and prolific aquatic life often found in colder water climates you'll need to stay warm and that means a dry suit. But, you want to be trained in proper techniques, this is where Dry Suit Diver Specialty course comes in.

What you will do:  Read the Dry Suit Specialty Manual  to cover the background knowledge related to dry suit diving.  Then you will get into the pool for a confined water dive to put the theory into practice.  Once you have mastered the techniques in confined water, you will do two dives under instructor supervision where you will apply that knowledge, including including dive planning, organization, techniques, problems and buoyancy control.

Cost: - $120.00 which includes a pool session, the Dry Suit Specialty Manual,  a picture for the certification card, the certification card and two dives under instructor supervision.  Click here for information about the dives   Add the Dry Specialty Video/DVD and log insert for $25.00 (recommended).

Materials needed:  Dry Suit Specialty Manual (covered in course price) and a dry suit.  We can assist you in dry suit rental if you do not own a dry suit.  Recommended:  Dry Suit specialty DVD ($27.20)

How to Get Started:  Call us at 214-505-0713 or click here to email us.     You can come buy to pick up the materials or we can have them delivered to your home or office.

 

Class Dates:  Dives can be done any lake weekend.  You will need a pool session prior to going to the lake.  Please contact us to schedule your pool session.   Click here for our calendar.
