NAUI Dry Suit Diver and Deep Diver Dual Certification
Become NAUI certified as both a Dry Suit diver and Deep diver in one weekend. It only makes sense to get Dry Suit certified for your deeper, colder dives in the Great Lakes and Pacific Northwest where water temperatures can plummet to the mid 40’s at only 90 feet.
The NAUI Deep Diver course provides the diver with the knowledge and skills to plan and make deep dives while minimizing risks and avoiding the need for staged decompression. NAUI defines deep diving as dives made between 60 and 130 feet.

Itinerary
Dry Suit Lecture #1 – During this academic session the student will be fitted into dry suit thermals, a dry suit and rock boots (if required) along with a hood. The student’s wrist and neck seals will be purchased and cut to size. You will learn the basics of how the system works and review the skills that will be performed on day one of your open water. STUDENT will need to bring their fins to this session to confirm that they will fit with your dry suit.
Deep Diver Lecture #2 – Academics will include Air vs Nitrox for the Deep Diver, Gas Management, Risk and Solutions, Safety Stops and Deco Stops.
Open Water Day 1 - The student will complete a minimum of three Dry Suit dives, demonstrating the use of suit controls, how to recover from an inverted position while buoyant, simulated stuck suit valves and how to recover, demonstrate a procedure to compensate for a lost weight system and maintain a minimum volume of air in the suit to prevent suit squeeze.
Open Water Day 2 - The student will complete two deep dives (60 to 90 feet) in a dry suit. If using your own regulator for the deep dives, it must be rated for cold water (less than 50°)
