Drysuit Specialty Course
Let’s face it, diving in the UK can, on the odd occasion, get a little chilly! A wetsuit doesn’t totally remove you from contact with the cold water. A drysuit is a 'shell' that minimizes your contact with the water, and insulates you with a layer of air, with the added thermal protection of a warm inner-suit. If you’re planning to dive in the UK in the winter months, it’s virtually essential. If you’d like to go ice diving, it’s an absolute must!
You’ll learn about different types of drysuit available; donning and removal; buoyancy characteristics and techniques; correct weighting; safety and emergency procedures; maintenance techniques and undergarment choices. Proof of certification is often required to rent or buy a drysuit.
The course requires a confined orientation in the morning and two dives Open Water over one day. In October, the dates are 13th and 20th for confined work, and the 26th or 27th for the open water day.
Price includes materials, instruction & support, two pool sessions, open water dives, certification, air fills and kit excluding drysuit, hire by prior arrangement.

RAID Explorer 30 / Advanced 35
Dive South
Poole, Map
The RAID Explorer 30 course is an exciting, fun program designed to increase your skills and understanding of the important core areas of diving. This course is largely practical so you have more time to enjoy your journey and practice the skills your Instructor will teach you. The course will take you on 5 different dives so you expand on the knowledge and skills learned during your Open Water course.
The Advanced 35 course is so much more than this. The program builds on skills already learned, with an emphasis on bouyancy control and profile in the water, and introduces some rescue skills into the mix. It is a little more demanding than the Explorer 30, but you will get more out of it!
The courses can be run for any certified diver who has the equivalent of RAID Open Water 20.
