How to dress a dry suit
Preliminary actions.
Especially when a dry suit is new, the exhaust valve is normally subject to settle-
ment inside its site. Such settlement may recur also after long periods of the dry
suit’s inactivity.
Before diving it is still necessary to check and, just in case, clamp the exhaust valve.
Grasp the external ferrule base and the inner valve, clamping clockwise.
Attention: Clamp the valve grasping the external ferrule base, not the valve itself
(meaning the part used to open or close the valve’s drain during the dive).
An incorrect exhaust valve’s clamping may let water get inside the valve’s site.
Dressing/undressing preventive measures
Attention: never ever use the side dry suit’s pockets as handholds to wear/un-
wear the dry suit.
Attention: do not walk with the dry suit without using the shoes given along with
the suit itself. If stepping on possible sharp objects, damages to the dry suit and its
user may be caused.
