DRY SUIT OWNER MANUAL
Dry suit valves
Your drysuit is equipped with an air inlet and outlet valve to control the air volume
inside your drysuit. The air inlet valve allows you to add air into your drysuit as
needed during descent, or on the surface for added buoyancy. The air inlet valve
turns around, allowing the air inlet hose to run around the right or left side of the
diver's body.
The air outlet valve is used to drain unneeded air from the drysuit. The air outlet
valve can be used to deflate air automatically or it can also be operated manually.
Mostly the air outlet valve is used in automatic function with the lowest opening
pressure, whereby the least possible amount of air remains in the suit. Turn the
valve counterclockwise (until it stops) to the lowest opening pressure (see dive
during the dive for more information). To deflate in automatic mode, bring the valve
to the highest point in the suit, e.g. raise the elbow so that the valve is the highest
point on your arm.
Manual deflation mode is widely used on the surface when additional positive
buoyancy is needed. In manual mode, turn the valve clockwise (until it stops) to the
highest opening pressure. To deflate, bring the valve to the highest point and press
it. The valve can be manually operated in automatic or partially closed position to
deflate the suit.

Neck and arm cuffs

The neck and arm cuffs form a watertight closure on the neck and arms. Size
adjustments must be made to achieve an optimal fit and seal. Mostly latex cuffs are
used, but neoprene cuffs and silicone cuffs are also available.
Dry Boots & Slim Line Boots
Each drysuit is equipped with footlets that keep feet dry. The boots are cut so that
additional heat-insulating shoes have space.

Waterproof Zipper

The waterproof zipper provides a watertight closure and allows you to take the
drysuit on and off. The waterproof zipper is one of the most important parts of your
drysuit. Read the instructions on how to use and care for the waterproof zipper
before using it. Incorrect handling can lead to permanent damage to the zipper.
