Dry Suit Diving Information for Newbies

[AKmountaineer]

In my quest to find information regarding the operation and usage of dry suits, I ran across this website which has a fantastic amount of information regarding beginning dry suit diving. I believe it is the PADI course curriculum. If you're like me and new to the dry suit arena, you might want to check it out!

Dry suits with thick undergarments are bulkier than wet suits. This makes moving, surf entries and long swims more uncomfortable or tiring than wet suits. However, this is most common in water temperatures so cold that wet suit diving isn't really an option.

What are they smoking? I'm 10x more flexible and comfortable in my drysuit than I ever was in my 2 piece 7mm.
