Dry Suit Diving
Don't let the cold stop you from diving! Dry suit diving opens up year-round diving opportunities in Arkansas and beyond. Learn to dive in comfort regardless of water temperature.
About This Tour
Most people hang up their fins when the water temperature drops, but dry suit diving changes everything. A dry suit seals you off from the water entirely, keeping you warm and comfortable even in near-freezing conditions. With the right undergarments and a properly fitted suit, cold water diving becomes not just tolerable but genuinely enjoyable.
Our dry suit diving tours are designed for divers who want to extend their season or who are curious about what cold water diving feels like. We provide thorough briefings on dry suit buoyancy control, valve management, and emergency procedures before entering the water. If you have never worn a dry suit before, we will start with a controlled orientation in shallow water so you can get comfortable with the equipment.
Dry suit rentals are available if you do not own your own. We carry a range of sizes and styles to ensure a good fit. This is the skill that keeps Arkansas divers in the water twelve months a year.
