Dry Suit Diver

Master buoyancy control and thermal regulation with the PADI Dry Suit Diver specialty course at Atlantis Lanzarote. This course is designed to introduce certified divers to the techniques and procedures required to safely plan and execute dives using a dry suit. You will learn how to manage the air within the suit for buoyancy, insulation, and trim, which differs significantly from wetsuit diving. The curriculum covers suit maintenance, donning and doffing procedures, and emergency management, including dry suit flooding and over-inflation.

While Lanzarote is renowned for its generally mild climate, water temperatures can fluctuate. For instance, sea temperatures can drop to approximately 18°C during the winter months, as indicated by climate data showing averages around 18.3°C in December and 18.7°C in January. This specialty course equips you to comfortably explore these cooler conditions, extending your diving season and allowing for greater thermal protection. Atlantis Lanzarote offers this PADI specialty, leveraging their experienced instructors to ensure a thorough understanding of dry suit diving.

The course typically involves three practical dives, allowing ample opportunity to practice the new skills learned. Participants will gain confidence in managing their buoyancy with a dry suit, a critical skill for maintaining stability and preventing uncontrolled ascents. The focus is on mastering these techniques in a controlled environment under the direct supervision of your instructor. Atlantis Lanzarote, a PADI certified dive center, ensures that all training adheres to PADI standards.

Upon successful completion of the PADI Dry Suit Diver specialty, you will receive your certification, enabling you to dive in dry suits. This qualification is particularly beneficial for divers planning trips to colder regions or for those who simply prefer the comfort of staying dry underwater. The course fee of 275 EUR includes all necessary equipment, PADI materials, certification fees, and complimentary HD videos of your dives. Atlantis Lanzarote provides a comprehensive learning experience with a commitment to diver education and safety.
