Neoprene SCD scuba diving suit 900 5 mm with back zip

Details of thermal insulation

Wet-type full-body one-piece wetsuit, made of 100% stretch 5.5 mm panels (with production tolerance). 5 mm neoprene foam, covered with nylon fabric on both sides.

Neoprene distribution:

Thermospan on the chest and back to increase the feeling of warmth,

100% stretch over the entire diving suit, smooth Glideskin cuffs at the ends of sleeves: the smooth part is to be turned over to stick to the skin and minimise water entry and circulation.

Construction of the zip and assembly of the diving suit

The back zip is designed so that two panels of smooth neoprene overlap to limit the inflow of water.



The diving suit's GBS assembly (Glued and Blind-Stitched) means that the seams are waterproof: the neoprene is glued and then stitched for extra durability (the needle does not go all the way through the neoprene to stop water getting through).

Snap hook on the upper thigh to attach accessories.

Freedom of movement

One-piece with separate hood (not included). Stretch neoprene side panels (very soft and stretchy neoprene) to adapt to fit different body shapes and suit various physiques.

No underarm seams for easier arm movements. Pre-shaped cut on the arms and legs, with back arch for easier movements.

Zip at neck for more comfort and to avoid irritations around the neckline.

Getting the suit on and off

Double cuffs with zips on the arms and legs for maximum comfort when putting on. The elongated pull cord makes it easier to close the back zip.

Reinforcements to reduce wear

Ergonomic reinforcements on the knees (Supratex) and anti-wear reinforcement print on the shoulders and lower back. These reinforcements limit the effects of friction related to the environment or the material.

The interior seams are ended with patches to make them stronger.

Wrist protection to prevent the dive computer from turning.

Thermal performance class

This scuba diving suit provides thermal protection that has been tested by the independent INPP institute (Marseille, France) in order to validate its compliance with the current standard (EN 14225-1:2005).



CLASS C certified diving suit:

A (+7°C/+12°C / +45°F/+54°F)

B (+10°C/+18°C / +50°F/+64°F)

C (+16°C/+24°C / +61°F/+75°F)

D (+22°C/+30°C / +72°F/+86°F).

Adjust the thickness, adjust your warmth!

When diving, cold is your worst enemy! Using the right thermal protection based on the water temperature, is essential. This concept was created to keep you from having to purchase different diving suits for different diving conditions, with five items that can be combined with your diving suit depending on the temperature.

In this way, you can complete your thermal insulation with a hood, a neoprene top, a top with a hood, a 1 mm under-shorty or a 5.5 mm over-shorty.

What is a diving wetsuit?

This is the most common type of diving suit on the market. It is not designed to keep the water out, but to trap it, so that your body then warms it up, creating a thermal buffer between you and the outside. Made of neoprene - a rubber polymer filled with air bubbles - these diving suits are available in thicknesses of 0.5 to 7 mm. Thanks to their suppleness and modularity, they constitute excellent diving suits.

Tips on how to get into a diving suit

Put your foot in a plastic bag, then slip your leg into your diving suit. Your entire foot comes out without snagging! To adjust, ask someone to blow into your sleeve from the wrist. The incoming air inflates the interior of the neoprene diving suit, immediately separating it from your skin. You can then easily proceed with the final adjustments.

Tips on how to take care of your diving suit

1) Soak the inside and the outside of the diving suit in clean water after each session.

2) Clean with an antibacterial solution.

3) Rinse thoroughly in clean water.

4) Dry on a wide hanger in a dark and well ventilated place. Caution: the sun will cause the colours of the textile parts of the diving suit to fade and speeds up the ageing process of the neoprene. Zips can be cleaned with a toothbrush and lubricated with silicone grease.
