A divesuit is a piece o clothing designed to protect the diver from the marine environment. A dive suit also includes a breathing gas supply, which is usually referred to separately. Depending upon the type of diving, the dive suit can be either one piece of a mixture of several types. There are many types of diving suits, such as a wetsuit or drysuit, helmet, semi-drysuit, and semi-drysuit.
Wetsuit
When choosing a wetsuit, the thickness of the material is crucial. Wetsuits that are three to five millimeters thick are recommended for water temperatures above twenty-five degrees Celsius. Thinner suits are more buoyant and mobile, but they do not provide the warmth necessary for colder diving.
Depending on the temperature, a wetsuit can be made from various materials. One-piece suits will be suitable for milder temperatures, while two-piece suits will be more appropriate for colder weather. Two-piece wetsuits typically have a combined thickness 10-14mm of neoprene for the torso. A single layer of the neoprene is applied to the limbs.
Drysuit
Drysuits are great for temperate and cold water diving. They prevent the diver from overheating or losing heat underwater. A drysuit is made of neoprene rubber, which traps millions of tiny gas bubbles to keep the diver warm. This material helps maintain neutral buoyancy by allowing the diver to maintain a body temp of 98.6 degrees. Additionally, the material allows for the wear of sock and boot to provide warmth.
A drysuit can be easily inflated using a special hose attached to the chest valve. The regulator has a first stage that connects to the hose. Once the diver is ready for more air, the valve will open and push the inflate switch. A dump valve is also included in the drysuit. It can be found attached to the left arm. The diver must manually remove the air from the suit once it is full.
Helmet suit
Helmets are a standard safety feature for diving suits. Helmet suits protect the diver against harmful ultraviolet light and bright sunlight. The helmet comes with a visor which can be turned over the helmet's faceplate to make it more comfortable. Some helmets also have a spitcock for washing out condensation that can build up in the helmet. This can lead to fogging, which can affect visibility.
Another example is the diving helmet. It is very similar to what salvage hunters use. It can only be worn on Tutorial Island during Beneath Cursed Tides. While diving, the helmet must be removed at the end of the dive. There are however many methods to remove the helmet. This article will briefly describe the diving suit helmet.
Semi-drysuit
The iFLEX semi dry dive suit is flexible and comfortable. It features the most recent wetsuit design innovations such as ultra-stretch dive Neoprene. This allows the diver freedom of movement without compromising comfort. You can also get into the suit quickly and easily.
Semi-dry suit have better seals than wetsuits. It limits the amount and speed with which water can enter or leave the suit. This ensures that water doesn't escape but remains warm inside the suit. This ensures that the diver does not lose buoyancy from the compression of air bubbles when they dive deeper into water.
