PADI Dry Suit Speciality
Wonder if any instrucutors can help.

I was going back through my log, and when I completed this course last year, I didn't bother to log what open water skills were practised.

I'd like to put this in, so any help would be appreciated.

Paul

Ooops - that's the AOW dry suit elective not the full speciality.

nickjb saw the sea in a book once
Isn't there any requirement for uninverting yourself? Just wondering, not questioning your list.

That's pretty much the list I had for the elective dive on an AOW course

I remember doing that in the pool. You mess it up first time with your feet in the air out of the water but just as you've got the hang of doing the somersault and want to play the instructor wants to stop. 8-(
Nothing in OW that I remember.

When I did the drysuit option for AOW, I had to uninvert myself. Most fun part of the whole course!

Not a PADI requirement for the dive, but I often get our students to do that - worthwhile in case they never go on and do the full course.

Sorry, should of made myself clear it was for the full course, not the adventure dive in the AOW.

I have a memory of doing a suit inflate free flow showing that you know how to remove the connector as well.

I think drysuit orientations usually include the 'Tuck and Roll' and inflator hose disconnect/re-connect. Both useful.
