Learn how to:

• Avoid common drysuit diving problems
• Choose a drysuit and undergarments

Prerequisites & Age Requirements

Minimum Age: 10

Course prerequisites: most divers enroll in the PADI Dry Suit Diver specialty course after earning their Open Water Diver certification, but in some areas, it’s necessary for divers to complete their Open Water course in a drysuit. 

If you’re interested in using a drysuit during your Open Water Diver course, talk to your instructor. To earn the drysuit specialty certification, you’ll need to make one additional dive after your Open Water Diver certification. Ask your instructor for more information.
