Remember when you had to leave playtime as soon the real fun starts - the cold is the same, it makes its presence known just when you start enjoying the water. A dry suit allows the diver not only to stay in the water for longer, but also to experience rarer dive sites - which are, not surprisingly, the colder ones.

The loose fitting dry suit provides a 'double protection' insulating with a layer of air. The air that fills the suit comes from your scuba diving tank via an outlet specially designed for this purpose. A release valve provides the outlet and the presence of air inside your suit therefore requires more attention to buoyancy than a wet, tight fitting one. The operating process requires a short course to master the various technicalities involved.

Dry suits seal at the wrist and neck with the added feature of a zipper that keeps the water out and contain special inner garments that form part of the crux of the purpose of the suit itself. These are designed in accordance with how deep you want to dive in a similar manner that the millimeter thickness of a wetsuit provides the correct insulation against water temperatures and depths.
