Downbelow’s Go PRO team experiencing the ‘other side’, involved dry suit diving…but not in cold water…in the warm tropics of the South China Sea!

For what reason? Well, first of all: just to have some silly fun; second of all: the experience benefits their perceptions of diver safety even more so as elite PADI Instructor Trainers!

They understand so much more the PADI Standard where student divers need to have an orientation in the confined water before diving wearing a dry suit because they now have firsthand account! They found it to be a little bit tricky to begin their dive as they adjusted their ‘newfound’ buoyancy, but the confined session in the training lagoon in front of our premier PADI 5 Star IDC Dive Centre really helped their.

Throughout the training of every PADI course and program, the importance of protecting and preserving the coral reef and its inhabitants is THE priority (second to a student divers’ safety, of course).

Maintaining environmental awareness within the instructional capacity at all times is a habit that candidates on our Go PRO teams’ award winning PADI Instructor Development Course (IDC) must achieve; and our Go PRO team have this additional experience of dry suit diving to share with their candidates!
