How the course works
A dry suit is useful in cold Polish lakes and quarries, and for long Nitrox dives. If you want to use one for technical diving, complete this course and then make about twenty recreational dives in it before a technical dive, so you learn one skill set at a time. See PADI Enriched Air (Nitrox) Diver and PADI Tec 40.
Where you dive in Aqaba
Dives are done on Aqaba’s reefs and wrecks, from Laila 1 or from the shore. Many specialties can be combined into a single trip.
