There are various types of drysuits, each with its own characteristics. The choice of your dry diving suit will depend on the water temperature, your diving experience, and your preferences. Our drysuits are designed to offer you flawless insulation and waterproofing, allowing you to enjoy every dive.

Understanding the Drysuit: Materials, Thickness, and Protection

The drysuit differs radically from the wetsuit or semi-drysuit in its principle: it allows no water to enter. It's the air trapped inside this drysuit, combined with a thermal undersuit (often a fleece garment), that keeps you warm. This is the most effective diving garment for cold waters.

  • Drysuit Materials and Thickness: Drysuits can be made from different materials, offering varied thicknesses and flexibilities. You'll find neoprene drysuits that provide intrinsic thermal protection and appreciable freedom of movement. Membrane drysuits (or "drysuits"), such as the tri-laminate drysuit, are known for their resistance and are often preferred for their durability and lightness. The Scubapro Evertech Dry Breathable drysuit is a benchmark product.

  • Insulation and Thermal Comfort: The thermal insulation of the dry diving suit relies on air and your undersuit. This allows you to dive comfortably in cold waters (below 15°C, or even 10°C). Thermal comfort, resistance, and durability are assets for the drysuit, essential for prolonged dives or in cold waters.

Key Features of the Drysuit: Details, Closures, and Essential Accessories

Choosing a dry diving suit requires careful examination of many technical details.

  • Sleeves and Wetsuit Closures: The zipper is a crucial element of the drysuit. You'll find metal or plastic (more flexible) zips. The seals at the wrists and neck (often made of latex or neoprene) ensure flawless waterproofing. Drysuits can have long sleeves and reliable closures. Donning the drysuit takes a little practice, but quickly becomes a simple action.

  • Integrated Boots and Booties: Drysuits are often equipped with integrated boots, ensuring complete waterproofing. It's recommended to wear additional socks or booties inside for more thermal comfort and for the diver's foot protection. The integrated boot is part of the drysuit.

  • Hood and Gloves for Complete Protection: The hood can be integrated into the drysuit (as on some Beuchat models) or separate. Dry gloves are essential for thermal protection of the hands. These diving accessories complement the drysuit.

  • Pockets and Reinforcements: Durability and Practicality: Many drysuits have practical pockets for carrying diving equipment. Reinforcements at the knees and shoulders (sometimes in Supratex or Cordura) increase the drysuit's durability, especially for technical divers. The suit's resistance is an asset for intensive use.

Drysuit Use and Maintenance Tips: Extending its Lifespan

Drysuit maintenance requires more rigor than that of a wetsuit; it's essential to prolong its lifespan. After each dive, rinse your suit with fresh water and let it dry in the shade. Regularly check the seals, zip (zipper), and seams to ensure waterproofing. A well-maintained drysuit means hassle-free dives.

  • Buoyancy Management in Drysuit Diving: With a drysuit, buoyancy management is different than with a wetsuit. You need to learn to master air inflation and purging via the valves for stability at depth. Your dive computer will help you manage decompression. The diver must master the buoyancy of the dry diving suit.

  • Essential Drysuit Accessories: In addition to the hood, gloves, and boots, consider diving accessories like a compatible regulator, mask, snorkel, fins, weights, and BCD. A DSMB (surface marker buoy) is also a diving safety accessory. We have a large stock of these diving accessories.
