Wetsuits and drysuits

diving suits

If you are a diver, you have probably been cold underwater on more than one occasion and, if so, you know that it is not a pleasant experience. In this sense, wearing a diving suit can mark the difference between a perfect dive and one where you want to get out of the water as soon as possible.

In addition to being annoying, being cold underwater can be really dangerous. Therefore, it is essential have good protection and not just think about comfort, but also safety.

What are diving suits for?

Diving suits are made of a specific material, the neoprene, which allows a thin layer of water to be retained inside. This thin layer of water is heated by our body''s own temperature, a factor that It will prevent us from losing body heat during a dive.

What to take into account when buying diving suits?

When buying a diving suit you will find a large number of models. To choose the right one you must take into account:

- Fit

It is a key factor in any diving suit, since must fit perfectly to your body. The ideal is to compare different sizes until you find the one that best suits you. Remember that it is necessary for the suit to fit well against the skin of the entire body, but at the same time it must be comfortable and not excessively tight.

- thickness

Thickness It will depend on the temperature range of the water. in which you plan to dive. Most likely, the temperature will not always be the same, so it is advisable to choose the one that best suits in general. Remember that it is better to go over protection than not to have enough. If you plan, for example, to dive in temperatures between 18 and 25 °C, the ideal is to opt for a 7 mm wetsuit to use in temperatures of 18 °C.

- Comfort

Another important point to take into account is comfort, because you must not forget that you will spend many hours inside the suit, both underwater and on the surface. If you chose the right size, it should be comfortable, but if you want extra comfort you can check that it has a good elasticity in the hips, knees, shoulders and elbows.

Types of diving suits

Currently, there is a great diversity of diving suits, among which we highlight:

- Diving dry suits

A diving dry suit is specially designed for cooler waters, preventing water from coming into contact with the diver''s body.

It forms a kind of air bag around the body of the diver, in addition to the fact that they wear undergarments underneath. This is possible thanks to the fact that the boots or booties are “attached” to the suit, in addition to the fact that they have a complete seal at the wrists and neck.

In this way, they allow dive in waters up to 0 °C.

- Semi-dry diving suits

Semi-dry diving suits go one step further in terms of insulation, because minimize the entry of water into the suit. This is possible thanks to the addition of sleeves that are specially adjusted to the neck, ankles and wrists, as well as specially designed zippers to prevent the passage of water.

They are perfect for cold waters, with temperatures between 18 and 24 °C.

- Complete diving suits

Complete diving suits are the most widely used today and have a thickness of neoprene that ranges from 3 to 7 mm. They are perfect for temperatures above 18°C.

We can find complete one- or two-piece diving suits:

- Monopiece: They are made of a single piece of neoprene, closed by means of a vertical zipper that is located on the back or on the front.

- Two pieces: they are composed of a jumpsuit and a jacket that is placed on top. The advantage of this model is that it can be used separately and add extra thickness if necessary.

- Women''s diving suits

Diving suits for women are characterized by being wider in the hip and chest area, and narrower in the shoulder area, with the aim of providing a better fit to the female figure.

- Men''s diving suits
