WATERTIGhT ZIPPERS
We fit totally waterproof zippers into all our dry
suits. These feature stainless steel teeth and
seal and assembly characteristics (sandwich
gluing system) that ensure all water stays
outside the dry suit. An external flap protects
them from impacts or contacts with blunt
objects that could affect or alter correct
function.
INflATION AND DUMP VAlVES,
CONNECTION hOSE
The main characteristic of the dry suit is to
insulate the body from external contact with the
water, supplying thermal comfort that allows
you to enjoy a relaxed diving experience. As the
diver is subjected to changes in pressure due
to diving descent, however, this function must
be controlled and compensated. To do so, air
must be introduced into the dry suit.

ATTENTION
Whilst most divers use the tank air to
compensate external water pressure,
some professionals or technical diving
experts use gas or mixes of gas other than
air.
SEACSUB S.p.A refuses all liability for the
use of gas or mixes of gases other than
air with the dry suit. Use of Argon type gas
or oxygen-enriched mixtures can lead to
accidents that would put your own safety,
and that of others, at risk.
This introduction of air will be necessary to
compensate the increased pressure during
descent. If not compensate, this pressure will
act directly on the body, creating an unpleasant
compression effect.
N.B.: the inflation valve supplied with the SEAC
dry suits is is a lateral sliding button type,
(fig. 9). This prevents the button from being
pressed accidentally due to its coming into
contact with external parts.
The layer of air created within means that the
compression effect vanishes immediately and
the dry suit performs the task for which it has
been designed.
The compensation and formation of this layer
of air takes place by means of the inflation
valve mid-chest. By pressing this rapidly in
repeat succession, we can regulate air intake
into the dry suit.
Use the dump valve on the left arm to control
the increase in the air volume seen during
ascent or where varying depth. In this case,
excess air must be dumped.
If used correctly, these two waterproof valves
will balance out the air taken in, providing
the diver with the desired buoyancy and an
appropriate heat supply.
A flexible connection
40 pressure bars is supplied with the dry suit.
This is positioned between the inflation valve
and the low pressure outlet of the first stage,
allowing you to inflate the dry suit.
ClOSURES AT ThE ExTREMITIES Of
ThE SUIT
Care of the closures at the wrists and neck
always demands particular attention as
these are the aspects mainly responsible
for a correct seal of the dry suit. Created
from super-elastic and highly tear resistant
material, these systems insulate the suit
from the outside, preventing all infiltration
or water passage. The neck seal always
needs to be folded within the neoprene
collar (fig.1). Only the use of carefully
selected materials can make this operation
easy and comfortable. The wrist seals have
been specifically designed to ease passage
of the hand whilst putting the suit on, and
are perfectly located on the wrist to allow
for optimal seal.
SIZES AND MODElS
The correct size, designed for various body
types, is an essential factor in the production of
a dry suit, must conform to the characteristics
required by European certification and offer a
wide range of wearability. This particular study
allows us to supply any diver with a suit that
corresponds to both resistance to heat loss
and correct fit.
In order to obtain all this, we have always
taken various factors into account. First
and foremost is to identify the correct
type of neoprene used in order to obtain a
fit that guarantees easy dressing, ease of
movement, does not restrict respiration, and
is resistant to heat loss and abrasion.
Particular attention is paid to identifying the
correct direction of stretch in order to guarantee
maximum comfort. The models in the catalogue
all feature the characteristics listed above. The
