With only a handful of dives I suggest you do a course. It isn’t strictly necessary if you are already comfortable but so early you’ll be quite loaded without the extra complication of the drysuit and possibly overwhelmed with it.I hope this is a good place to ask. I found this old topic in searching about drysuits. I am new to diving and to this forum. I have 5 logged dives so far. Being new to diving I am dying to dive to go diving as much as possible. Being from Tennessee there are no places except quarry’s to dive. The water is pretty chilly right now. I have been looking into purchasing a drysuit. I have found a scuba pro Everdry 4 for a great price. Not knowing much about them and the research I have done it seems like a good suit. All this to ask my question haha. Being I have 5 logged dives, am I biting off more than I can chew? The drysuit certification here is rather pricey! Seems overpriced compared to my open water, advance open water, and nitrox certification prices.
Next question. Should I take the course? Or do some pool session myself and learn how to use it. I am sorry this is a lengthy post. Just trying to learn as much as I can before Investing. I absolutely love diving and plan to do it year round so seems like the drysuit is what I need. Would love to have any input or advice you guys and gals could offer! Thank you!!!
