Description

PADI Dry Suit Diver course Daivings.lv: Dive warm and comfortable all year round (eLearning Dry Suit Diver)

Discover the joy of diving in colder waters with the PADI Dry Suit Diver specialization course! Daivings.lv offers drysuit diving lessons by combining PADI eLearning® theoretical training in English (or Russian) with practical lessons in Latvian waters led by experienced instructors. All practical training is conducted in Latvian, Russian or English.

Why dive in a dry suit?

Unlike a wetsuit, which lets a small amount of water through, which warms the body, a drysuit provides complete insulation from water. This means:

• Warmth and comfort: The ability to dive in colder waters (for example, in Latvian lakes and the Baltic Sea in spring, autumn and even winter) for much longer and more comfortably.
• Extended diving season: A dry suit allows you to dive almost all year round, not limited to the warm summer months.
• Greater comfort after diving: After getting out of the water, you will be dry and warm, which is especially pleasant in cooler weather.
• Improved buoyancy: With proper training, the use of a drysuit can provide new opportunities in buoyancy control.
