As of January 1, 2017, DIVING FOR FUN will
NO LONGER be offering training services. However, we wanted to continue to provide
a list of the classes we offered along with course outlines as a reference for all our past customers.
 Course Overview:
If you want to see the spectacular and prolific aquatic life often found in colder water
climates you will need to stay warm and that means you need to dive in a dry suit. But, you should be trained
in the proper techniques, this is where Dry Suit Diver Specialty course comes in.
Prerequisites:
Must be at least 12 years old and certified as a Junior Open Water Diver or an Open Water Diver.
 Course Activities:
You will learn about the planning, organization, procedures, buoyancy control techniques, care and
maintenance of equipment, problems and hazards of dry suit diving. Then you will get into the pool
for a confined water dive to put the theory into practice. Once you have mastered the techniques
in confined water, you will do two dives under instructor supervision where you will apply that
knowledge, including including dive planning, organization, techniques, problems and buoyancy control.
- Classroom:
There is one classroom session. The classroom session
will cover the Dry Suit Diver Specialty Manual, review your knowledge review answers, learn how to
plan a Dry Suit dive and prepare you for the 2 open water dives.
- Independent Study:
Read the Dry Suit Diver Specialty Manual and complete
the knowledge review located at the end of the manual. You will need to turn in the knowledge review
prior to certification or provide a copy of an Adventure Log signed by an appropriate instructor if
you have already done dive one in connection with your Adventure Diver or Advanced Open Water Diver
Certification.
- Open Water Dives:
The 2 open water dives are done at an area lake/scuba park
or on a dive trip.
 Forms Required:
Students training will need to complete the three (3) forms: Liability Release, Statement of Understanding, and
Medical Statement prior to entering the water.
Materials/Equipment Required:
Dry Suit Diver Specialty Manual (included in course price). Recommended: Dry Suit Specialty DVD
 Length of Course:
If you have read the Dry Suit Specialty Manual, completed the knowledge review prior to coming to class then the
classroom will last approximately 1 hour depending upon class size.
