Course Information

Drysuit Diver Malaga is a practical PADI specialty course that teaches divers how to stay warm and comfortable in cooler water conditions. As a result, it allows you to extend your diving season and explore more dive sites.

In addition, Drysuit Diver Malaga introduces the correct use of a drysuit, including buoyancy control and suit management. Therefore, divers can safely dive in a wider range of environments.

To begin with, you will learn how a drysuit works and how to prepare your equipment. Then, you will practise controlling air within the suit in shallow water. After that, you will apply these skills during your open water dives. As a result, you gain confidence while diving in different conditions.

Furthermore, your instructor will guide you through each step. Meanwhile, you will improve your buoyancy and trim using both your suit and BCD. Therefore, the learning process remains controlled and comfortable.

Finally, drysuit diving opens up new diving opportunities. In other words, it allows you to dive more often and in more locations.

After completing Drysuit Diver Malaga, you can continue your training with other specialty courses. For example, Deep Diver or Wreck Diver can expand your diving opportunities. Keep up to date with your PADI app.

In addition, you can explore local dive sites on our scuba diving Malaga dive sites page. Therefore, this course helps you dive more often and in more locations.
