Why Drysuits are Great
Drysuits are convenient and comfortable way of keeping warm while diving. You don’t need to dry off afterwards and don’t get the wind chill against your wet body. People who have made the transition to Drysuit diving find they are a complete wonder and look back on their wetsuit diving days in complete disarray!
Convenience
Imagine being completely dry at the end of every dive.. For those who have yet to understand how a drysuit works, commonly they are completely enclosed accept for openings at the end of the arms (with wrist seals) and an opening at the top with a neck seal. Because of this, a properly operated Drysuit in good repair will keep you completely dry for the entire dive. At the end there is no mess and you are already dry!
Economy
Economy is not something many think about when a drysuit is concerned but the opposite is actually true. Drysuits save you the countless levels of discomfort and inconvenience required to keep warm when diving a wetsuit when the water temperature is cooler. Sure it can be done with many wetsuit layers or some careful planning around your dive and we’ve all done this at some stage and had great dives. When diving a drysuit however, you can adjust the temperature to the conditions and mindlessly wonder around or carry out tasks underwater without such an energy expense and cost to your concentration. While diving a drysuit in temperate conditions, the increased value you get from every dive and energy left over is substantial.
Warmth
Diving in even the coldest waters of the world can be done in comfort with a Drysuit. Using the correct drysuit features and undergarments means you can stay warm in any climate. With an adjustable layer of air and thermal layer/s between the diver and external layer of a drysuit you can achieve any level of protection and warmth. Some people prefer diving their drysuit so much to the point they will wear fewer thermal layers in warmer waters just to dive dry!
