Drysuit Training

[mattd]

I was told you can't do the ice class unless you already have the drysuit class done.

It makes sense.  I wouldn't want to be learning a whole new bouyancy control with a bunch of ice above me.  If it gets away from you, you might crash (hopefully feet first) into the ice.

GUDC has them for rental in several sizes if you can't find other shops that do.  Perhaps you can schedule a discover scuba type lesson with one of the drysuits?

I didn't have any problem renting a drysuit for my class.  Perhaps the shops have all sold their rental fleet at end of season sales?  It seems odd to me they are telling you they will offer the class but only if you have your own.
