Drysuit Course

Part of dive operations is training our staff and volunteer divers. We conducted a drysuit course over a 3 day period that was both interesting and entertaining. Adding a drysuit to one's list of equipment can be taskloading, especially without the proper training. There are now two bodies of air to control, not to mention keeping the air out of one's feet so a blow up doesn't occur. Our last day of class was a dive in Lake Lanier that went very well, aside from the vis being so low. Overall this was a very successful course.
