Highlights
Outing Highlights
Focused dry-suit techniques and emergency drills
The course concentrates on the special requirements for dry-suit use: how to don and operate the suit, manage buoyancy and trim, and handle dry-suit–specific emergency procedures, all delivered in a structured training format that leads to SSI certification.
Three supervised dives — confined then open water
Training is staged across three dives: a confined/shallow-water session to practice skills, followed by two open-water dives where those skills are applied under real conditions.
Compact groups and certification-focused
The program runs in small groups and is explicitly goal-oriented — complete the three required dives and you earn the SSI Dry Suit Diving Specialty; practical details and items are handled on a per-operator basis.
What the day feels like
What the course feels like in the water
The sequence is deliberate: an initial confined/shallow session to rehearse dry-suit procedures, then two open-water dives where instructors expand on comfort, buoyancy and emergency responses while you apply the techniques under supervision — a compact, hands-on progression that culminates in SSI specialty certification.
