Why PADI Dry Suit Diver?

If you want to see the spectacular and prolific aquatic life often found in colder water climates you’ll need to stay warm and that means a dry suit. But, you want to be trained in proper techniques and this is where PADI Dry Suit Diver Specialty course comes in. Cape Town is a temperate water location ideal for drysuit diving, particularly if you want to do multiple dives on a single day.

We usually teach this course to students who have purchased their own drysuit and need to learn how to dive in it safely and how to care for it.

Please note: You require your own drysuit for this course and Pisces Divers highly recommends the Fourth Element Argonaut 3.0 Trilaminate Drysuit. We also stock a full range of Fourth Element thermal undergarments for these drysuits and can assist with Biomapping the suit to your body shape for a perfect fit. There are also many items on the suit which can be configured to your preferences (three different boot options, wrist and neck seal options, dry-glove options, p-valves etc)

If you do not have a drysuit, we can try and and source one for you to use on the course but due to limited availability of rental drysuits in Cape Town, we cannot guarantee a size that will match your size and shape. The cost of a drysuit rental is R1650 per day.

Ignore any negative reviews! Perfect organisation from start to finish 😃 Very safe, organised, fun diving. Anyone moaning about being cold should research SA diving before booking 😂

Really professional and experienced dive centre, with great kit for the cold water. We really enjoyed diving with them, and would definitely do so again, without thinking twice. Great knowledge of the local fish and plant life and it was nice having the time at the end of the dive to go through what we saw. Highly recommend!

Enrolling in the 1 year Career Development Programme at Pisces Divers has been a truly transformative experience, that has turned my quiet, unsure matriculant into a passionate diver with professional skills. My son didn't just learn to dive; he mastered becoming a valuable asset to a hands-on, thriving business. The mentorship from Koen's experienced team fostered a very supportive community that built immense confidence in a teen needing direction and purpose. Thank you Koen and Team Pisces 👏👏👏👏👏 #proudmum #best11months

Wir hatten einen wunderschönen Besuch und können diese Tauchschule wirklich von Herzen empfehlen! 🤿💙 Man fühlt sich hier als Kunde sofort willkommen und merkt, dass sich für jeden einzelnen Gast wirklich Zeit genommen wird. Die Beratung ist persönlich, kompetent und mit viel Liebe zum Detail. Besonders begeistert waren wir von der perfekten Maskenberatung. Mein Mann hatte bisher immer Probleme, eine wirklich passende Maske zu finden. Hier wurde sich extra viel Zeit genommen und so lange ausprobiert und beraten, bis die perfekte Maske gefunden war. 🙌 Auch die deutsche Mitarbeiterin aus Augsburg können wir absolut empfehlen – super freundlich, kompetent und hilfsbereit!

Great experience with a fantastic team! We had a lot of fun, always felt safe, and the equipment was in great condition. We also completed the Nitrox course, which was explained very clearly and professionally. Highly recommended!
