How does it work?
The Adelaide Scuba drysuit course is very straightforward. Turn up at the scheduled time with your eLearning complete, meet your instructor, complete any outstanding paperwork, then don your drysuit and step into the pool.
A quick session in the pool with your instructor will show you the best way to don your drysuit, and gives some time to get practise diving in a drysuit in the safety and comfort of a pool. Once you're set with the basic skills, you step directly onto the dive boat with your dive gear for a double dive in the ocean. This allows you to practise the skills from the pool in a real-life scenario, with space to experience the full benefits of drysuit diving, including how to avoid uncomfortable moments like suit squeeze or inflator problems.
Estimated duration: 6 hours total
