The Benefits of Diving in our Drysuits.

  • Our Drysuits are easily and very quickly donned and removed.  No more
    struggling into a wetsuit and then having that constricted feeling.

  • The fact is that our Drysuits are as much to do with the ease of diving as the
    water temperature.

  • Specialist undergarments are not required, except in the most extreme conditions.

  • The warm and comfortable diver willl be a clearer thinking one, whose air
    consumption is likely to improve.

  • Because the vital organs within the torso are warm the extremities of hands
    and feet retain circulation and stay warmer.

  • The Drysuit diver really scores on repeat dives when the suit is still just easily
    and quickly donned. No more fighting your way into that damp wetsuit.

  • The coldness encountered by wetsuit divers on repeat dives does not affect the
    Drysuit diver since the body's core temperature of 37C will not have been as
    affected by earlier dives as that of a wetsuit diver.

  • Your mobility in the water is unhindered and free, unlike the 'baggy' type of
    shell suits which can have a distinct drag factor.

  • The Drysuit diver has the added bonus that because the body is dry, of being
    far less affected by wind chill factors.

  • In our Drysuits you will want to dive all the year round.  Three Winter dives a
    day are a reality.

  • Not least, our Drysuits look smart and are extremely well made and backed by local service.


Why Dive in a Drysuit

  • Thermal protection is so important to the diver.

  • Water conducts heat away from the body approximately 25 times faster than air.

  • Few divers realise how important this thermal stress may be to their safety
    and performance.

  • Even if you don't feel the cold in a wetsuit you may be loosing heat to the
    water faster than it can be replaced.

  • When you begin to feel chilled there may actually be a safety risk.

  • A  Drysuit offers the best, most cost-effective way for the diver to
    stay warm.

  • Most important - you keep dry and warm even after several dives.

What's wrong with a wetsuit

  • No thermal protection.

  • Allows water layer between the suit and the skin.

  • Body energy losses to heat this water layer.

  • High body heat losses through conductivity.

  • You get wet and cold.
