Training Coordinator and lead instructor Ron Carter says, "Negative and no way! Too much of a learning curve to have students wearing drysuits during the beginner pool and ocean.

Be aware that dry suits come with built in socks. These socks tend to increase your foot size. Your existing boot and fin combination may not work.

It is not recommended to rent a drysuit for many reasons. Firstly each time you rent a suit you will be going through a whole new learning.
