Whether you’re into underwater photography or wreck diving, on vacation in some tropical paradise or just out for a leisurely day of diving at your local dive site, the PADI Enriched Air Diver course helps you get more out of diving by giving you more time underwater.

Must be a PADI Open Water Diver (or qualifying certification from another organization).

Learn to analyze cylinder contents.
Plan enriched air dives using tables and dive computers.

PADI Dry Suit Diver

Number of dives: 3 One pool Two open water.
Min cert Padi Open water diver
Min age 12

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. There is incredible diving in the world’s cooler regions and in some areas, conditions are even better in colder months. Becoming a dry suit diver allows you to expand your boundaries and dive more places, more often.

What will you learn?
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 drysuit. During two dives, after an Dry suit orientation in the shallow water , 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.
Theory : via e-Learning
