Wanna stay warm and toasty on a dive? Then dive dry. Yes! Unlike a wetsuit, a
dry suit seals you off from the outside water and that keeps you warm! Even in surprisingly cold
water.

The Fun Part
Dry suits let you dive more challenging dive
sites, and extend your dive season. When you have the right cold water scuba diving attire, you can
stand up to the elements and take advantage of the generally better visibility offered by winter
months—especially at inland dive sites such as quarries, lakes, sinkholes and caves etc. As a dry suit
diver, you’re equipped to scuba dive some of the world’s incredible dive sites in the world’s cooler
regions that are best enjoyed in a dry suit even in their warmer months.

Your Next Adventure
Scuba diving with a dry suit is useful when diving many types of dive sites. A dry suit is
necessary when ice diving and sometimes while altitude diving. Many technical divers wear dry suits on
almost every dive due to the length of the time spent underwater. The longer the diver is in the water,
the more thermal protection is required. If technical diving is something that interests you, check out
