NDiver Drysuit Manual | East Quarry, Appley Lane North, Appley Bridge, Wigan, WN6 9AE, UK
Degreasing
If the suit is exposed to oil or grease, clean with a mild grease cutting detergent
and a soft brush. Rinse with clean fresh water.
DO NOT ALLOW OIL OR GREASE RESIDUE TO REMAIN ON SUIT FOR ANY
LENGTH OF TIME – IT MAY DEGRADE THE MATERIAL.
Decontamination
Recreational divers should take care to avoid exposure to contaminated water and
environments. Professional, commercial, rescue and military divers who may be
forced to dive in contaminated conditions must identify the contaminant and take
appropriate steps to remove the contaminant from the suit before it can be used
again.
Do not enter any contaminated area or water unless you have the required
training and additional Personal Protective Equipment (PPE).
Storage & Transport
Once the suit is thoroughly clean and dry with the zip lubricated, store in a cool dry
place out of the sun. Many suits have been damaged by cats and rodents nesting
in them when in storage, take care to store the suit away from areas accessible
to them. Keep copper away from the latex seals. Drysuits are best stored on the
Northern Diver Multi Purpose Hanger (see page 27) that hangs the suit upside
down by the feet with the zip closed. Additional advice may be found in specific
sections above. Transport the suit in the storage bag / changing mat provided. Try
to clean excessive dirt and sand from the suit before placing it in the bag.
