Why choose a dry suIt
When diving with a wet suit, the quantity of
water between your body and the wet suit worn
is kept at a medium temperature, thanks to the
insulating characteristics of the material from
which it has been made.
The technical insulation characteristics from
the outside of a dry suit mean, on the other
hand, that your body is instead surrounded by
the air you introduce (generally the same air
as contained in the tanks). To put it simply, the
water stays out.
As air is one of the best thermal insulators,
not only will a dry suit keep you warmer, but it
will also increase your comfort levels, reducing

and
contact with water, making it the best choice for
diving in dirty or contaminated water.
Use of an undersuit beneath the dry suit will
further increase the heat supply, increasing
your sensation of wellbeing.
The sensation of being dry you can enjoy with
a dry suit is something that adds comfort and
peace of mind – both important factors for a
successful dive.
To sum up the benefits, therefore, by using a
dry suit, you will be able to dive all year round,
reducing fatigue and increasing comfort.
