In previous tests ScubaLab drysuit included test results for the flow valve (the ability of the exhaust more air flow demand of the inlet valve can be put in). This is obviously a security issue but also one of the simple functionality. However, recent evidence has shown ScubaLab rate a drysuit valve flow is affected by several variables: It seems that the rate of flow of any given valve can vary considerably depending on the underwear, in the form of dress, positioning / location of the valve and even the weight of the diver. Basically, any two divers can find very different results. In fact, the same diver may experience different results with different clothes. Of course, it remains crucial that manufacturers offer more exhaust valves gas inlet valve put in, but to ensure safety, the divers use dry suits that fit and wear underwear that does not trap air. Our recommendation: While using your normal underwear, get into the water with a dry suit before buying. You should be able to kneel upright, lift the arm of the valve so it is above the entry, then press and hold the dry suit inflator button for 15 seconds or less while breathing normally . You should not notice any positive buoyancy.

A dry suit keeps you warm, dry and comfortable under the water, but also an important investment – the patterns of expenditure budget of over $ 1,000. Dry suits also require periodic maintenance, which is also expensive. Replacing a neck seal can set you back $ 100, $ 125 a valve, a waterproof zipper $ 300 to $ 500. Of course, a quality dry suit can also last 10 years or even longer if you treat him well.

Before diving. . .

Take care of your dry suit is when you are using. A dry suit most critical components, seals and zipper – are most susceptible to damage when entering and leaving the game.

1. stamps of the wrist and neck strap, especially latex seals on his hands and head, without actually dusting with talcum powder is a recipe for a dip in ruins and a repair bill strong. Talcum powder removes almost all the resistance between the skin and seals, allowing them to glide without stressing the rubber. In fact, when you put your suit, you should never stretch the material over and pull it over your head or wrist. You should stretch the opening as wide as possible and put the head and wrists through the seals.

2. Never waterproof zipper zipper without first applying some wax zipper. Use only manufacturer Wax is specifically formulated for dry suit specific end. Apply wax only on the outside of the teeth to not interfere with the sealing surfaces inside the zip. If the costume is designed by the back entrance and need help to compress, make sure your friend knows what he is doing. drysuit zippers are very sturdy but not indestructible. Never pull, but extend to the track zipper out as straight as possible and apply a slow, steady traction on the car rack, keeping the underwear theme so nothing gets stuck in the teeth.

3. Once compressed, squat and pull the neck seal to bleed air demand. Or, if possible, swim step down and let the water pressure cleansing for you. This second method serves a dual purpose – to neutralize any overheating that could have generated so far, which makes climbing in the rest of your diving equipment much more comfortable. Either way, making as much air as possible out of his dry suit now reduces the chance of flying a neck seal over the entrance to a giant step. Read the rest of this entry »
