Types of diving suits
Existing materials are varied, since neoprene lycra until you can find lots of wetsuits.
With such a diver looking for does not go to extremes such as hypothermia, so it must choose the appropriate attire for water temperature and the activity performed.
• Wet suits
This type is called a wet suit, as between the skin and the inside of the suit creates a water film to come into direct contact with the body unable to afford their heat insulating the cold outside.
According to the temperature of water have different thicknesses, from 2 to 8 mm.
It is essential that clothes will stick to the body to the water film is created to achieve warm.
Within these suits have maximum protection and minimum protection. Minimum protective garments are made in lycra or derivatives, and are used in swimming pools or warm water. They can also be used underneath the wet suit over cold waters.
• semi-dry suits
This type of suit was designed to immerse in cold water, so its minimum thickness is 7 mm.
The hood and boots are part of the suit, unlike the previous ones that usually come in separate parts.
• Dry suits
This type of dress means excellence in thermal protection and security. His material is designed to insulate the diver from the colder waters of the polluted well.
The main difference is that the wet to avoid cold water using air as an insulator. This can be a problem because it creates buoyancy, which makes it necessary to learn how to use previously.
Inflation has a mechanism that enters the air that insulates the body from the cold, and it requires the help of a partner to wear it.
The materials used in their manufacture are pressed neoprene and neoprene membrane.
Neoprene pressing
- Shock resistant
- Sticks to the body to perfection
- Excellent thermal insulation
- Limiting the mobility of the diver
Neoprene Diaphragm
- Allows more mobility by being lighter
- Less isolation
- Used with some clothes
