Wanna extend your diving season and open up new bodies of water closer to home? With the proper exposure protection you can get a glimpse of a variety of marine animals and bottom growth not found in warm water environments and typically enjoy better visibility in the winter months while safely enjoying it, even in cold water!
Semi-dry suits and dry suits let you dive more challenging dive sites, and extend your dive season. When you have the right cold water scuba diving attire, you can stand up to the elements and take advantage of the generally better visibility offered by winter months—especially at inland dive sites such as quarries, lakes, sinkholes and caves etc. Thermoclines that feel like freezing temperatures compared to the warm shallow water limit your depths in warmer months. A Cold Water Diver with proper exposure protection can explore areas at their regular dive sites they've never seen before! While other divers are hibernating and suffering from "blowing bubbles withdrawal" you're out diving!

Scuba diving with a dry suit is useful when diving many types of dive sites. A dry suit is necessary when ice diving and sometimes while altitude diving. Many technical divers wear dry suits on almost every dive due to the length of the time spent underwater. The longer the diver is in the water, the more thermal protection is required.
