new to dry suit

[wtdrm]

While some Certs do seem superfluous,  I dont think the drysuit is one of them. I have observed lots of divers taking the drysuit class and lots of divers that should have taken the class. The biggest difference is the diver taking the class is about 15 dives closer to being efficient in the water with the drysuit. There are lots of tips in the class that the non cert diver just has to learn on their own. I love watching new divers taking the advanced class with a drysuit being one of their specialties. From the 1st dive of the weekend to the last dive of their advanced cert.,,there is a world of difference.
The class also teaches a person the correct way to doff and don, making the experience much more enjoyable. Not to mention tips on weighting depending on undergarments. The pros and cons of wetgloves vs. Drygloves. The student has the opportunity to ask questions of the instructor and getting the correct answer, instead of asking another drysuit diver and possibly getting the incorrect answer.
Remember, nobody can ever take education away from you.
