DRY SUIT DIVER
(PSAI)
The aim of the course is to teach participants safe diving using a dry suit. During the course, correct attainment of neutral buoyancy and procedures in emergency situations are practiced. After completing the course, participants should be able to choose an appropriate dry suit for themselves and use it safely.
WHY IT'S WORTH DIVING IN DRY SUITS?
- We benefit from greater thermal comfort, especially in our environmental conditions.
- In an emergency, we have an alternative source of buoyancy.
REQUIREMENTS:
- Minimum age: 15 years (for participants under 18 years of age, consent from both parents is required)
- Possession of a basic diving certification
- Possession of a valid medical certificate of fitness to dive
THEORETICAL TRAINING:
- Structure, maintenance and storage of dry suits
- Dry suit fitting
- Dry suit diving techniques
- Emergency procedures
PRACTICAL TRAINING:
- Fitting, donning and doffing different types of dry suits
- Operation of dry suit valves
- Water entry techniques from shore and from boats
- Buoyancy control using a dry suit
- Emergency procedures (dry suit flooding, uncontrolled ascent)
QUALIFICATIONS AFTER COMPLETING THE COURSE:
Ability to dive using a dry suit at depths corresponding to the diver's certification level.
