Sunshine Coast Diving & PADI Courses

> The PADI Dry Suit Diver course

Wanna stay warm and toasty on a dive? Then dive dry. Yes! Unlike a wetsuit, a dry suit seals you off from the outside water and that keeps you warm! Even in surprisingly cold water.

The Fun Part

Dry suits let you dive more challenging dive sites, and extend your dive season. When you have the right cold water scuba diving attire, you can stand up to the elements and take advantage of the crystal clear waters offered by winter months - especially in Tuwanek! As a dry suit diver, you’re equipped to scuba dive some of the world’s most incredible dive sites in the world’s cooler regions.
