Skill Lab
Drysuit Skills Lab
Own a suit but fight it every dive? A day or two fixes years of habits.
- Duration
- 1-2 days
- Group
- Max 4 divers
- Where
- Šibenik, Brač and Tisno
A drysuit adds a second air space, and most divers manage it with the same habits they use for the BCD. That is where the floating feet, the squeeze and the sudden ascents come from. We work on how much gas goes into the suit, where it goes, and how to vent it without thinking.
Who it's for
- You dive a drysuit and it still feels like a fight.
- Your feet float up and you cannot say why.
- You want to dive through the winter, when the water is clearest.
What you'll work on
- 01Weighting for your suit and the undergarment you actually wear
- 02Gas in, gas out: inflating and venting in every position
- 03Recovering from feet-up and from a stuck inflator
- 04Trim in a suit that wants to float
