BEFORE YOUR FIRST DRYSUIT DIVE
Before using your drysuit for the first time:
• Complete a drysuit diving training course
• Completely read the manual and become familiar with diving and
emergency procedures
• Complete the fit check
• Adjust the neck and wrist seals to insure proper fit
• Select the correct insulation/divewear and accessories for the planned dive
• Have the drysuit inflation hose connected to your regulator
• Check for proper fitting of all other equipment such as fins, weight
system, BCD, etc.
PREPARING TO DIVE WITH YOUR DUI
DRYSUIT
PRE-DIVE INSPECTION OF YOUR DUI DRYSUIT
Inspect the seals on your drysuit before diving. If a seal is cracked, sticky or
worn, replace it before diving.
Check your drysuit zipper before diving. If you cannot close the zipper with
two fingers, lubricate it with DUI ZIPWAX or ZIPPEREASE. To do this, close
the zipper and lubricate the outside of the zipper only. Inspect the zipper
for damaged teeth, or teeth out of alignment. These signs indicate a
damaged zipper. If such signs are evident take your drysuit to the nearest
DUI dealer for inspection and repair.
! CAUTION !
Do not use silicone spray on your zipper. A build up of
silicone can make your drysuit difficult to repair.
If your drysuit has been in storage for over a month, perform the above
inspections well before your scheduled dive. Allow sufficient time to obtain
necessary materials and repairs. Before each dive, check the inflator valve
and the exhaust valve. The inflator valve should be tested by hooking up
your regulator to a full air cylinder and pressing the inflate button. The
