Diving in our waters has been identified as among the best in the world. Water clarity, eco-diversity, species abundance, world-class wrecks and more are all common desciptions of British Columbia scuba diving. One of the few barriers to full enjoyment of BC's underwater world has been the cold water temperature.

Great Pacific Diving has been an industry leader in innovation and technology since 1987. We're offering this incredible enhancement to our Openwater and Advanced Training Classes to ensure the maximum comfort and warmth of our students.

Students will get the opportunity to experience the amazing Oceaner/Tusa Full Titanium Foil drysuit. This remarkable suit features Yamamoto Technical rubber, triple-glued and welded seams and the kind of flexibility normally only found in wetsuits. Stay warm, dry and comfortable while experiencing the best of world-class diving!
