In certain diving locations cold is a factor, even in the summer months. There are also people who enjoy diving so much, they continue on into the early fall and winter. For these reasons, diving is best done with the protection of a dry suit. Dry Suits trap a layer of air between the diver and the water and keep you considerably warmer. However, for this very reason, additional training is necessary. The SSI Dry Suit Diving Home Study Manual and Video will prepare you for this training.
