The cold waters of Glacier Bay Nation Park's fjords require our divers to wear a dry suit. A dry suit has water tight seals at the wrist and neck as well as a water tight zipper that keep a small layer of air trapped in the suit as insulation. Our divers also wear gloves and neoprene hoods for additional insulation.
