    By following the instructions in this guide, you will understand how to prepare your BioDry Suit for use, how to don and remove it, how to inflate and deflate it, and how to maintain and store it.

  • Page 6: Neck And Wrist Seals

    NECK AND WRIST SEALS Your BioDry Suit has been fitted with standard size latex Seals that correspond to the size of the Suit. If you are new to wearing a Dry Suit with latex Seals, it may feel uncomfortable when initially worn. It should fit snugly, but not be too tight.

  • Page 7: Pre Dive Preparation

    PRE DIVE PREPARATION Prior to putting your BioDry Suit on: • Check that latex Neck and Wrist Seals are free from nicks, cracking, or any sign of deterioration. Also, that they are not sticky (due to exposure to excessive heat or chemicals).

  • Page 8: Dressing

    DRESSING The BioDry Suit has little inherent Insulation. Primary Thermal Protection (under- wear) should be worn in an amount that will keep you comfortable throughout the dive. In addition to water temperature and duration of the dive, your physi- cal condition and anticipated activity rate should be taken into consideration to avoid thermal hazards.

    Always wear a BC with the BioDry Suit. • Prior to water entry, vent all air from the BioDry Suit and ensure that you are properly weighted for the dive. • Check that you are just slightly negative at the surface with a full tank.

  • Page 10: Undressing

    Oceanic recommends a safety stop at 10-15 feet (3-5 meters) prior to surfacing from each dive. • On the surface, vent all air from your BioDry Suit and inflate your BC to achieve comfortable positive buoyancy. Refer to page 13 for Emergency Situations.

  • Page 11: Care And Maintenance

    Cleaning and Storage: • As soon as possible after diving, thoroughly rinse the outside of the BioDry Suit and flush the Inflator and Exhaust Valves with running fresh- water. • Carefully sponge the Neck and Wrist Seals with a mild solution of soapy water and rinse thoroughly.
