A wetsuit is made to keep the person in the water warm. To keep the user warm, the wetsuit is trapping water between the neoprene and the skin of the person who is wearing the suit. Therefore, it’s very important that the seams are sealed correctly. The thin layer of water is heated by the body temperature of the user of the wetsuit, and it will keep the person warm in cold waters. The wetsuit will also protect against jellyfish and a rocky seafloor. Divers will often wear a drysuit if they are diving in cold waters. The drysuit will keep the user warm by keeping them dry.

Test the products to their limits

There are many places around the world where you can test the products to its limits. The colder the water, the more important is the thickness of your suit, and the importance of tape, glue and stiches used to seal the suit. It’s important to have a suit that is reinforced so no water gets through.

Take for instance diving in Saltstraumen. Here you really need to trust your equipment to be able to enjoy your dive. Saltstraumen with its large eddy currents that can be up to 10 meters in diameter and up to 5 meters deep can be challenging to many divers. During the dive you are swept with the currents and you can see a large number of fish, seashells and beautiful colors under water. When you are diving in Saltstraumen your products will be tested to its limits. You suit, dry or wet, needs to keep you safe in the strong currents. When you are dragged along the currents the seams need to hold, and no wear and tear can occur.
