You are here
Would you like to be toasty and warm on every dive or would you like to try UK diving but are afraid that the water might be too cold? Drysuit diving is the answer!
When you dive in a drysuit you stay completely dry under the suit and you wear thermal undergarments to keep you warm. The whole suit becomes your buoyancy device and although at first it takes a little time to master, many people go on to love drysuit diving because it allows them even greater control over their buoyancy than wetsuit diving!
At Diving Leisure London we use well maintained and DRY drysuits. Our suits have socks and telescoping torsos, this means we can accommodate many more sizes into each suit. This is important because sizing drysuits is very important and it means you won't end up being put in a suit several sizes too large!
How the course works
The drysuit course consists of a confined water session done either in the pool or at the dive site and 2 qualifying dives.
The dives are usually done in fairly shallow water and mainly concentrate on the emergency and buoyancy skills associated with drysuit diving. The main difference to get used to is managing the suit as a buoyancy device instead of the BCD however most divers get to grips with it fairly quickly.
The course can be completed in a single day or can be completed alongside any other course where you're able to dive in a drysuit. See the special offer on the drysuit bolt on!

What's the next step?
