BARRIE SCUBA HOUSE ESTORE

Wanna stay warm & toasty on a dive?  Then dive DRY!  Unlike a wetsuit, a drysuit seals you off from the outside water and that keeps you warm.  Even in surprisingly cold water like Tobermory.

The Fun Part

Drysuits let you dive more challenging dive sites, and extend your dive season. When you have the right cold water scuba diving attire, you can stand up to the elements and take advantage of the generally better visibility offered by winter months—especially at inland dive sites such as quarries, lakes, sinkholes and caves etc. As a drysuit diver, you’re equipped to scuba dive some of the world’s incredible dive sites in the world’s cooler regions that are best enjoyed in a drysuit even in their warmer months.

Your Next Adventure

Scuba diving with a drysuit is useful when diving many types of dive sites. A drysuit is necessary when ice diving and sometimes while altitude diving. Many technical divers wear drysuits on almost every dive due to the length of the time spent underwater. The longer the diver is in the water, the more thermal protection is required. If technical diving is something that interests you, check out the Discover Tec Diving experience.
