Dry Glove Systems

Dry glove systems should be considered when diving in water temperatures

below 54°F (12°C) to minimize the risk of non-freezing cold injures. Current

options include:

SI-5 Integrated Glove System: A ring is permanently attached to your

drysuit and the glove attaches to your drysuit with that ring. No wrist seal

is used and liners are used on your hands for insulation.

Dry-5 Non-Integrated Glove System: Insulated dry gloves with latex wrist

seals attached and worn over the top of the drysuit wrist seals.

Ankle Weights

Many newcomers to drysuit diving find that ankle weights are helpful in

adjusting trim while in the water. Experienced drysuit divers often consider

ankle weights as “training wheels” to be removed as soon as possible

because of the additional effort required to swim. It is recommended that

recreational divers wear no more than 2.5 Lb (1 kg) on each ankle.

! CAUTION !

Do not wear fins that are too tight. If you block the

blood flow to the feet, you may suffer cold and disabling

foot cramps.
