How do I find sites that rent drysuits?

Not sure if this is the most appropriate forum, but ... I’d like to hear if there’s a reliable way to find if there are dive sites in a region that rent drysuits. I live in TN and am going on a car trip to DC. Will pass through/near Maryland, Virginia and South Carolina.
I’ve tried several queries on Google but no matter how I phrase it I can’t wade through all the drysuit courses and sales offers. I hate to go through each potential dive site’s web page if I can help it.

Well, that’s a growing topic as many Dive Shops are dragging their feet in their free registration for Scuba Earth - which would make that kind of data readily available. Why they aren’t taking advantage of the wonderful opportunity is anyone’s guess. Regardless, it’s costing them business.

As a get around, you can send a message to local divers to a potential dive spot. They will know what’s around and maybe you’ll get a dive partner in the process. Best wishes.
