A dive suit is a piece of clothing designed to protect a diver from the underwater environment. A dive suit may also contain a breathing system. These are usually referred separately. Depending on what type of diving you are doing, your diving suit could be either one piece or a combination. Divers can choose from a variety of types including a drysuit, wetsuit, helmet suit or semi-drysuit.
Wetsuit
The thickness of the wetsuit is critical when choosing one. If the water temperature is above 25 degrees Celsius, we recommend wetsuits that are 3 to 5 millimeters thick. Thinner suits provide better mobility and buoyancy, but they sacrifice the warmth needed for colder dives.
A wetsuit can come in different materials depending on its temperature. One-piece suits have been designed for mild temperatures while two-piece suits work well in colder climates. Two-piece suit usually have a combined thickness ranging from 10-14 micrometers over the body and one layer on the legs.
Drysuit
A drysuit is great for cold-water diving. It prevents the diver's body from getting too hot and makes it easier to breathe underwater. A drysuit is made with neoprene rubber. This traps millions small gas bubbles that keep the diver warm. The material allows the diver to maintain a body temperature of 98.6 degrees, which helps maintain neutral buoyancy. You can also wear a boot or sock to add warmth.
An adaptor hose that attaches to the chest valve can be used to inflate a drysuit. The regulator connects the hose to the first stage. When a diver wants to add more air, they press the inflate button. The left arm of the drysuit has a dump valve. Once the air is inside the suit, the diver must manually remove it by pushing the release valve on the suit.
Helmet suit
Helmet suits, a safety feature that is common in diving suits, are very common. They protect the diver from bright and harmful ultraviolet light. The helmet comes with a visor which can be turned over the helmet's faceplate to make it more comfortable. Some helmets also have a spitcock for washing out condensation that can build up in the helmet. This can lead to fogging, which can affect visibility.
Another example is a diving headgear, which is similar in appearance to one used by salvage hunters. It can only be worn on Tutorial Island during Beneath Cursed Tides. While diving, the helmet must be removed at the end of the dive. There are however many methods to remove the helmet. This article will briefly describe the diving suit helmet.
Semi-drysuit
The iFLEX semi dry dive suit is flexible and comfortable. It incorporates the latest wetsuit design innovations, including ultra-stretch dive neoprene, which allows the diver to move freely without compromising comfort. It's easy to slip into and out the suit in just seconds.
Semi-dry suits seal better than wetsuits. They limit the amount of water which can enter and leave the suit. This ensures that the water remains warm within the suit, but does not escape. This ensures that the diver doesn’t lose buoyancy as they dive deeper in the water.
