commercial diving equipment - Diving Suits [click here to return to previous page]

Depending on the water temperature and length of dive, the diver will either use a wetsuit, where neoprene provides thermal insulation but the diver gets wet, a hot water diving suit which is similar to a wetsuit but is flooded with warm water from the surface through an umbilical, or a drysuit, which keeps the diver totally dry and relies on either the suit material or the air trapped in thermal undergarments to insulate the diver. Certain applications require a specific type of dive suit, long dives into deep, cold water normally require a hot water suit, whilst diving into potentially contaminated environments normally requires a drysuit.
