Dry Suit Diver
Dry suits let you dive into 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, caves, etc. As a dry suit diver, you’re equipped to scuba dive in the world’s cooler regions, which are best enjoyed in a dry suit even in warmer months.
