Description

Take your scuba skills to the next level and get certified to dive safely in cold water with this private PADI Dry Suit Diver course in Iceland. This 10-hour dry suit training from Reykjavik is ideal for divers who want to experience Iceland’s unique underwater beauty and prepare for future cold-water dives.

This private course gives you the practice you need to handle cold-water diving with confidence. With dedicated attention from your instructor, you’ll learn how to use a dry suit, control your movement, and stay comfortable while exploring underwater environments that few divers ever experience.

Your adventure starts in Reykjavík with a convenient pick-up and an introduction to your instructor before you head to the training site. Across 10 hours, you’ll complete a simple classroom session, focused pool training, and two open water dives in Iceland. 

The morning builds your comfort with the dry suit in a controlled setting, while the afternoon takes you into natural conditions where you put everything into practice.

Iceland’s underwater world rewards you with clarity, color, and quiet. Expect glassy water, sculpted lava formations, and soft light that shifts from deep blue to bright green.

Beneath the surface, the visibility can seem endless, letting you take in every detail of the rocky landscape and spot marine life that thrives in the cold North Atlantic. These dives show you why Iceland is considered one of the most extraordinary places on Earth to train as a diver.

When you complete the course, you earn your PADI Dry Suit Diver certification, which qualifies you to dive at Silfra. The course itself does not take place there, but this certification is the key that opens the way. 

Silfra is one of the most famous dive sites in the world, celebrated for water so clear you can see more than 328 feet (100 meters) ahead. Diving here means gliding between two tectonic plates in bright, shimmering water filled with deep blues and greens. Many divers describe it as the closest feeling to flying underwater.

Everything you need for the course is included. You’ll have transport from Reykjavík, all diving equipment, pool and open water sessions, and the PADI certification fee covered. 

The course is physically demanding, but in the best way possible. Each step challenges you to learn and grow, and by the end of the day, you finish with new skills, greater confidence, and the reward of being ready for unforgettable dives.

Step up your diving journey with this PADI Dry Suit Diver Course in Iceland and get certified to explore some of the most extraordinary underwater sites on Earth. Check availability now by choosing a date.
