Content of course
The PADI Dry Suit Diver specialty course is divided in two parts.
1. PADI e-learning theory
You prepare yourself with the PADI e-learning software at home on your tablet, notebook or PC. We strongly recommend not to study on a small screen of a smartphone. The interactive e-learning will let you read the texts and watch the video and will check your understanding with some knowledge reviews.
The best experience is to study online, however, if you find yourself without internet such as on the beach or while traveling or if you have inconsistent, poor internet services, you may download content to study offline via the PADI Training app. Content can be downloaded in sections for download convenience with a total file size of approximately 551 MB.
The PADI Training app is available for Apple® iOS devices and Android™ devices. It’s best if devices are no more than three generations old.
PADI Dry Suit Diver eLearning provides the basic knowledge for selecting and caring for a dry suit along with the dry suit safety concepts you’ll apply during the two required dives.
The e-learning software comes in these languages: Chinese, English, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese, Russian, Spanish
2. Practical open water training
The specialty course PADI Dry Suit Diver contains 2 dives.
The purpose of the PADI Dry Suit Specialty course is to familiarize divers with the skills, knowledge, planning, organization, procedures, techniques, problems, hazards and enjoyment of Dry Suit diving. Training will emphasize fun and safety
