IMPORTANT
The dump valve is fitted with a one-way
valve that will not allow water to enter
even if the valve is fully open. However,
by pressing the valve fully, this function is
cancelled. As such, we recommend not
acting repeatedly on the valve when not
necessary, as repeated action when the
suit has been released of air, may facilitate
the entry of water within.
IMPORTANT
With the valve fully open, we have
maximum sensitivity to air exit. This is
why when diving, we recommend turning
the ring nut 1/4 of a turn, three times,
towards the closure position. This will
prevent air from being released when not
necessary.
after dIve
Upon conclusion of the dive a normal procedure
will be followed to remove the equipment that
was previously applied. The last phase of this
procedure is usually removal of the dry suit.
At that time, the diver should evaluate weather
conditions when deciding when to remove this
final component of equipment. The presence
of a companion is always important in that he
or she can assist with opening any zippers and
help their diving companion to maintain balance.
The dry suit with braces has the added benefit
of allowing you to undress the upper part of the
body, whilst keeping the suit on.
Once the zippers have been opened, you will
first need to pull your head through the neck
seal. Take great care only to use the pads of
your fingers to widen the neck, to avoid possible
breakages or tears to the neoprene. Take the
same care when pulling both sleeves off. After
this, to fully remove the dry suit, release the
braces and take the socks off your feet one by
one. SEAC boots are fitted with specific heel
reinforcements that make this type of operation
easier.
In this last phase, your diving buddy will need to
help you to avoid possibly over balancing.
Naturally, each diver will evaluate the most
appropriate procedure according to his or her
own experience and practicality.

CONDENSATION
Although free from infiltration, once the suit has
been opened after a dive, you may note drops
of water or damp inside. This is mainly due to
the diver's sweating consequent to excessive
activity or the use of thick undersuits.
In some cases, the very difference between the
temperature inside the suit and external water
temperature can also create condensation.
Careful dressing that considers these aspects
will prevent future condensation from forming.
ordInary care and
maIntenance
Once the dry suit has been removed, it must
be subjected to normal maintenance and
control operations.
We advise rinsing the dry suit and all neoprene
components in fresh running water, included
valves and dry zipper.
It is then best to hang it up and let it dry in a
well ventilated area not in direct sun light.
In some cases, and with the help of your buddy,
the use of a freshwater hose can help rinse the
suit off, even if being worn.
For correct maintenance it is advisable to follow
the instructions below, which are also found on
the tag attached to every certified suit.
