1. General Use of Drysuits
This brochure is not a manual for the use of Dry Diving Suit. It gives assistance with use
and maintenance, how they result from daily operational sequence. Learning the use of
dry diving must take place under expert guidance. In addition you turn best to your spe-
cialist dealer or diving club. We advise against urgently to go yourself with the acquired
suit immediately into the water. Use the expert guidance by a diving in teacher. And apply
for the relevant courses. Only then you have the guarantee for the fact that you can also
really master unexpected problems. This applies in particular to the up ad down going , as
well as the use of a Jackets. Avoid under all circumstances (even if it hurts now) a diving
course, if you at course - and the other equipment is not 100% is perfect.
You information mediated here are only a general recommendation:
Attach the air hose at the medium pressure exit of the first stage. The connection is a
UNF 3/8 " thread, which fits into the normal low pressure exit. The opposite side of the
hose can be either a normal Inflator coupling, or however a special connection, as it is at
our “Sitech„ valve. If an experienced diver wants to extend the connection, this happens
on own risk. You should inflate the suit up somewhat more than normally thereby puts it
straight and you are be able to control it better. Pay attention to carry always sufficient
large fins.
Normally you need for a neoprene suit approx. 1 kg lead per mm. Count with a dry suit
the double weight, i.e. 12-15 kg. With Trilaminat suits only about half. In the case of
correct counterbalancing the diver should sink after discharging air from the suit slowly
downward. If the drift speed is too high, lead must be reduced. Consider also that the
maximum lead quantity is as indicated above necessary only if you need firm conditions
on the soil.
Start their diving exercises with the suit in flat water. Try to get experienced divers for
your first dive trip. But better enter a dry diving course. Stop the diving immediately if
your equipment is not perfect. Pay attention to perfect buoyancy. Theoretical knowledge
of the dry diving is indispensable before the beginning of diving.
