At Oceano Dive Centre, the NAUI Drysuit Diver course consists of two main phases:
-
Theory. The academic training will help you understand the extra skills involved in this course, first at home doing an eLearning then a review in our classroom with your instructor.
-
Water Skill Dive Day. You will learn all the skills required to dive safely in a drysuit by completing the necessary training over a minimum of 4 open water dives
This course provides training in the use of dry suits to become familiar and comfortable with their thermal protection options, controls and buoyancy characteristics. Upon successful completion of this course, graduates are considered competent to engage in open water diving activities, while using a drysuit, without supervision, provided the diving environment, activities, areas dived, and equipment approximate those of training.
