We aim to train and mentor divers to become safe, skilled, and confident in cold water environments. Our courses are designed to ensure you have the skills to dive incident-free for years to come, regardless of the challenges of cold water diving.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp\u003eWe do not believe in shortening course times to lower costs. Our unique training approach is built to give students the time they need to excel in every area of diving. While our courses may take longer and cost a bit more, they ensure students receive the best training available. Our highly experienced instructional staff, with decades of combined experience, provides the most effective learning environment for students. Our approach ensures your success in diving, both during the course and in your future diving adventures.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp\u003eWe structure our courses based on the number of classes needed for most students to fully master the required skills and knowledge, not simply the minimum training hours. Our instructors provide honest and supportive feedback throughout the course, and students may require additional pool or ocean dives. Occasionally, extra support outside of regularly scheduled classes may be needed, ensuring that every diver is fully prepared to dive safely and confidently. We also offer private lessons for those who prefer more personalized, one-on-one training.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \n\n \u003ch2 style=\"color: white;\"\u003eWhat’s Included in Your Drysuit Specialty Course | Vancouver Drysuit Training\u003c\/h2\u003e\n \u003cul\u003e\n \u003cli\u003ePADI Drysuit Specialty eLearning course material for mastering cold water diving techniques\u003c\/li\u003e\n \u003cli\u003eOne full training day in the classroom and pool with two hours of in-water training to learn drysuit diving skills\u003c\/li\u003e\n \u003cli\u003eOne full ocean training day, including two open water dives at Vancouver’s premier cold water dive sites\u003c\/li\u003e\n \u003cli\u003eTransportation provided between pool and ocean locations\u003c\/li\u003e\n \u003cli\u003eCertification fees included upon successful completion of the course\u003c\/li\u003e\n \u003cli\u003eComplete cold water scuba rental gear: BCD, regulator, high-quality drysuit and fins\u003c\/li\u003e\n \u003cli\u003eMarigold Dry Gloves: Each student receives a pair of dry gloves to ensure comfort and warmth during your dives\u003c\/li\u003e\n \u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n \u003ch2 style=\"color: white;\"\u003eReal Student Experience | PADI Drysuit Specialty Training\u003c\/h2\u003e\n \u003cdiv style=\"margin-top: 20px;\"\u003e\n \u003ciframe width=\"100%\" height=\"345\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/gt3RqjamNEY?autoplay=1\u0026amp;mute=1\" title=\"Drysuit Specialty Course Student Experience\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\n \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n \u003ch2 style=\"color: white; margin-top: 20px;\"\u003eInstructor Insights | Learn About Diving in a Drysuit in British Columbia\u003c\/h2\u003e\n \u003cdiv style=\"margin-top: 20px;\"\u003e\n \u003ciframe width=\"100%\" height=\"345\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/E-AOPz6YBOk?autoplay=1\u0026amp;mute=1\" title=\"Diving in a Drysuit in British Columbia\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\n \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cscript type=\"application\/ld+json\"\u003e\n{\n \"@context\": \"https:\/\/schema.org\/\",\n \"@type\": \"Course\",\n \"name\": \"PADI Drysuit Specialty Course in Vancouver\",\n \"description\": \"Master drysuit diving with Diving Sports Canada in Vancouver.

We are in the business of training, mentoring, and supporting people to become safe, skillful and confident divers and in doing so, we know we are certifying divers who are able to continue to enjoy the sport incident free for many years.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe also believe in supporting those in the industry who make it as great as it is. We find that the common course structure of shortening class times to lower cost doesn’t benefit our students or our staff. We are changing how we do things to give students the time to excel in all the areas in diving so they can be proud about achieving their certification. This does mean that training will take longer and cost a little bit more than what some other dive companies may be offering. Our instructional staff have decades of experience between them and when you take dive training with us, you will be able to benefit from all that experience. We believe that the way we structure our courses has the most benefit to our students to set them up for continued success in diving.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe begin by scheduling our courses with the number of classes it typically takes most students to master the knowledge and skills, not simply the minimum recommended training hours set by the agencies. Our instructors are open and honest about your progress during each part of the course. Students may need to schedule additional pool or ocean training dives prior to certification. While not very common, occasionally some students require additional support outside of regularly scheduled classes, as many divers take more time on certain skills than others. This ensures our students complete their courses with all the skills and knowledge they need to be safe and enjoy their future dives and courses. When you take a course with Diving Sports, you are welcomed into a passionate and inclusive community of divers eager to support your diving journey well beyond the duration of your class.

We also believe in supporting the passionate professionals who make the diving industry thrive.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eUnlike some programs that shorten class times to lower costs, we structure our courses to give you the time and attention needed to truly excel. This approach may mean training takes longer and costs a little more than some other dive companies, but our decades of combined instructor experience ensure that every minute is spent building your skills for long-term diving success.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWe schedule our courses with the time it typically takes most students to fully master knowledge and skills — not just the agency minimums. Our instructors are transparent about your progress, and if extra pool or ocean sessions are needed before certification, we make sure you get them. While most students progress on schedule, we understand that some need more time with certain skills, and we’re committed to supporting that journey.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWhen you train with us, you’re joining a passionate, inclusive diving community that will support you well beyond your class. Whether you want private instruction for one-on-one learning or group training in a supportive environment, we’re here to help you succeed and enjoy diving for life.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003ePADI Rescue Diver Course\u003c\/strong\u003e is one of the most challenging and rewarding programs in scuba diving.
