Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a drysuit for scuba diving?

Yes, you do. Scuba diving drysuits are designed to keep the wearer dry, warm and comfortable when in the water by keeping water out. A drysuit should be worn in environments where the water is below 14°C or where harsh conditions are present.

What are pros and cons of drysuits for scuba diving?

Pros:

• Keeps users dry
• Feels very warm, even when in cold water
• Made of ultra-stretch neoprene, making them comfortable to wear
• Allows users to dive for longer periods of time

Cons:

• More expensive than wetsuits
• Harder to put on
• Tears more easily
• Can feel quite heavy, especially when wet, and needs a lot of weight to provide neutral buoyancy

What is a drysuit, and what’s the difference between a wet suit vs. a dry suit?

A diving drysuit is a waterproof diving suit that works by sealing a layer of air between the diver and the water. The difference between scuba diving drysuits and wetsuits is that a wetsuit will trap water between the wetsuit and the wearer’s skin, whereas a diving drysuit is looser fitting and uses air instead of water to minimise heat loss and keep the wearer warmer.

Is it difficult to dive with a dry suit?

No, it’s not difficult at all to go diving while wearing a diving drysuit, although it may take some time to get used to wearing a drysuit for diving activities.

What do I wear under a dry suit?

When wearing a drysuit for diving, scuba divers should also be wearing clothes that are made from polypropylene, wool or fleece, as these materials provide good insulation even when wet.
