Never struggle getting in and out of a cold wetsuit again. Drysuit diving seals off the water completely — keeping you warm and dry no matter how cold Tasmania's waters get. The SSI Dry Suit Diver specialty program teaches you everything you need to dive safely and comfortably in a drysuit — so you can dive every month of the year and explore Tasmania's incredible underwater environment in any season.
