Dry Suit Diver
Dry Suit Diver Course with OLYMPUS DIVE CENTER
Olympus Dive Center offers Dry Suit training for those wishing to extend their diving season, time in the water, broaden their buoyancy skills and open up diving opportunities throughout the world.
Unlike wetsuits, drysuits are filled with air. During your drysuit course, your instructor will teach you how to control the air in your drysuit along with your buoyancy.
You'll also learn about different types of drysuits, basic drysuit repairs and maintenance.
