{"product_id":"sdi-dry-suit-diver-course","title":"SDI Dry Suit Diver Course","description":"\u003cp\u003eA drysuit doesn't just keep you warm — it keeps you diving. Longer bottom times, a season that stretches well beyond summer, and the redundant inflation source required for diving doubles. If you're serious about diving in BC year-round, this is the course that opens it all up.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe start in confined open water to build a solid drysuit foundation before venturing deeper on subsequent dives. Your wing stays your primary buoyancy source, but now you're managing two inflation sources — and we'll make sure you're comfortable with both before you know it. It's one of those skills that quickly becomes second nature.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBring your own suit and we'll set it up with you. Don't own one yet?
