Semi-Dry Wetsuits

We stock a wide variety of semi-dry wetsuits, specifically made for scuba divers

Semi-dry suits are effectively a thick wetsuit with more effective seals at the wrist, neck and ankles, in comparison to a standard wetsuit. The seals limit the volume of water entering and leaving the suit. The wearer still gets wet in the suit, but the water that enters is soon warmed up and does not leave the suit readily, so the wearer remains warm. However, some buoyancy and thermal protection is lost when the bubbles compress at depth.

Semi-dry suits come in various configurations, e.g. a single piece or two pieces made of long johns and a separate jacket. They do not usually include boots, so a separate pair of insulating boots are often worn. These suits are typically used where the water temperature is between 10 and 20 °C (50 and 68 °F).
