Dive into this 10-hour PADI Dry Suit Diver course in Iceland, where you’ll gain the skills and certification needed to explore Silfra and other breathtaking cold-water dive sites worldwide. This comprehensive course highlights one confined water session and two open water dives.

Your day begins with a convenient pick-up in Reykjavik, where you’ll be transported to the course location. Here, you’ll meet your certified diving instructor, who will lead your course for the next 10 hours.

This course includes a full day of intensive training with a confined water session followed by two open water dives. The PADI certification fee, all necessary diving equipment, and transfers from Reykjavik are included, ensuring a seamless and immersive learning experience.

The morning starts with a theory session, where your instructor introduces you to the fundamentals of dry suit diving. You’ll learn about the equipment, buoyancy control techniques specific to dry suits, and safety protocols for diving in cold water environments.

Following the theory, you’ll move on to the confined water session, which takes place in a controlled environment like a pool. This session is crucial for getting comfortable with the dry suit and practicing key skills such as managing buoyancy and controlling air distribution within the suit.

Your instructor will be by your side, providing guidance and ensuring you gain confidence before heading into open water.

After the confined water session, you’ll take a short break before embarking on the two open water dives. These dives are the highlight of the course, offering you the chance to apply your newly learned skills in the stunning underwater landscapes of Iceland. 

Depending on the weather and sea conditions, the dive sites will be selected to provide the best possible experience. You’ll explore the underwater beauty that Iceland has to offer, from glacial waters to coastal gems.

Diving in Iceland’s cold waters is a physically demanding activity, but it’s also incredibly rewarding. The experience of diving in such unique conditions will prepare you for future adventures in cold-water environments, including the opportunity to dive in the famous Silfra fissure, located between the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates.

Upon successful completion of the course, you’ll receive your PADI Dry Suit Diver certification, qualifying you to dive in cold-water locations around the world.
