Dry Suit Option - Latex Neck Seal

Dry Suit Option - Latex Neck Seal

Ref: SSUOPTNKLA


Price: £19.00 (Including VAT at 17.5%)


Many people prefer a latex neck seal to a neoprene one because it provides better protection against water ingress and is easier to put on. Latex seals need more care than neoprene and are often more prone to damage, but they are easier to replace.The seals are trimable to an exact fit.


Dry Suit Option -  HD Latex Neck Seal

Dry Suit Option - HD Latex Neck Seal

Ref: SSUOPTNKLAH


Price: £22.99 (Including VAT at 17.5%)


A heavy duty neck seal that is more durable than the standard latex, but harder to get on and off.


Dry Suit Option - Cuff Dump instead of Auto Adjustable

Dry Suit Option - Cuff Dump instead of Auto Adjustable

Ref: SSOPTCUFFDU


Some people still prefer the simplicity of a cuff dump, which is positioned on the left arm. There is no extra cost to make this change.


Dry Suit Option - Old-style High Profile Apeks Dump Valve

Dry Suit Option - Old-style High Profile Apeks Dump Valve

Ref: SSOPTOLDDUMP


Some people still prefer the old-style Apeks Auto Dump APO158, finding it easier to use. However please note that the quoted flow rates are a third of the new design low profile units. There is no extra cost to make this change.


Dry Suit Option - Inflation Valve Comfort Patch

Dry Suit Option - Inflation Valve Comfort Patch

Ref: SSOPTCOMPAT


Price: £4.99 (Including VAT at 17.5%)


A 7mm neoprene patch that is attatched behind the inflation valve by Velcro. This reduces any discomfort caused by the valve backing plate being pressed into your chest and also deflects cold air from being forced through your undersuit when the inflator is operated.


Dry Suit Option - Swap Stardard Seatec Nipple for a CENJ type Fitting

Dry Suit Option - Swap Stardard Seatec Nipple for a CENJ type Fitting

Ref: SSOPTINCENJ


Price: £4.50 (Including VAT at 17.5%)


This option swaps the Apeks swivel inflator with a Seatec nipple (fitted as stanadard) for one with a CENJ nipple. The Seatec or "International" fitting is the connector commonly used for BC and wing inflators. Whereas the Apecks coupling will push straight together the Seatec requires the collar on the hose to be pulled back while pushing it onto the valve. The hose supplied with your suit will be matched to the valve nipple type.


Dry Suit Option - Increase the Length of the LP Hose

Dry Suit Option - Increase the Length of the LP Hose

Ref: SSOPTLONGLP


Price: £2.23 (Including VAT at 17.5%)


In most cases the standard 74cm Low Pressure hose is the ideal length. If you have a chest measurement over 130cm, or with some twin sets, a longer 89cm hose makes connecting to the inflation valve easier.


Dry Suit Option - SITech Valve System (including hose)

Dry Suit Option - SITech Valve System (including hose)

Ref: SSOPTSITECVSETPUSH


Price: £7.66 (Including VAT at 17.5%)


An alternative to a Apeks set up these are excellent dry suit valves from Sweden. This "push" inflator is operated in the normal way. The nipple type is "International". The 80cm inflator hose is a simple push fit. The unique internally fitted valve patch gives a neat external finish to the suit and allows us to mount it closer to suit seams.

Dry Suit Option - Warm Neck Simple

Ref: SSNUOTWNATDIR


Price: £8.23 (Including VAT at 17.5%)


As above but without the Velcro adjustment. It is designed to sit flatter and not so far up the neck. Without the Velcro it is less easy to catch the yoke of the hood underneath, however once the hood is inserted it does make head/neck movement easier as it is less bulky.
Only available with the latex neck option.


Dry Suit Option - Latex Wrist Seals

Dry Suit Option - Latex Wrist Seals

Ref: SSUOPTWRLA


Price: £18.00 (Including VAT at 17.5%)


Many people prefer latex wrist seals to neoprene ones because they provide better protection against water ingress. They are easier to put on, but are not quite as warm. Latex seals need more care than neoprene ones and are often more prone to damage, but they are easier to replace.

Dry Suit Option - STD Latex Wrist Seals with Neoprene Covers

Ref: SSUOPTWRLACOV


Price: £23.99 (Including VAT at 17.5%)


Adding neoprene covers over standard latex wrist seals gives more protection from abrasion damage and UV degradation due to sun light.. When combined with a pair of neoprene gloves (which are worn under the cover) it much warmer around the wrist area. These can making the fitting of rings for dryglove systems difficult (they do work well with "normal" drygloves with their own seals)

Dry Suit Ultra Option - Manchette Wrist seals

Dry Suit Ultra Option - Manchette Wrist seals

Ref: SSUOPTWRMANCH


Price: £24.76 (Including VAT at 17.5%)


Very old school! Based on the original drysuit seals These Manchette are still favored by some commercial divers. Things have moved on and we feel that for the vast majority of divers and that bottle or cone seals offer better results in terms of comfort. However we are not about to tell someone who has been diving for thirty years in the most difficult conditions that they are wrong.

Dry Suit Option - Latex Boots

Dry Suit Option - Latex Boots

Ref: SSUOPTLABTS


Price: £9.51 (Including VAT at 17.5%)


Latex boots offer greater durability than neoprene but require additional socks to compensate for the reduced insulation (see Thinsulate sox). Please note these are no longer availble in size 40,41,44,45,46,47.


Dry Suit Option - Compressed Neoprene Socks

Dry Suit Option - Compressed Neoprene Socks

Ref: SSUOPTCOMPSOX


As an alternative to having boots attached to the suit, 3mm compressed neoprene socks can be bonded on. When diving a conventional pair of wetsuit boots, or some form of "rock boots", are worn over the top. This system is warm and very much reduces the air that can become trapped around the feet. Care should be taken not to walk distances in these as there is a risk of puncture.
The have the additional advantage of enabling the suit to be completely turned inside out for easy drying and servicing.
There is no additional charge to swap to these socks.


Dry Suit Option - Heavy Duty Latex Boots

Dry Suit Option - Heavy Duty Latex Boots

Ref: SSUOPTLABTSHD


Price: £13.99 (Including VAT at 17.5%)


Heavy duty latex boots offer even greater durability than standard latex. The addition of a heel makes them ideal for walking in, making them first choice for Police and rescue divers. They still require additional socks to compensate for the reduced insulation (see Thinsulate sox).
Sorry these boots are now ONLY availble in size 38,39,41 and 42.


Dry Suit Option - Braces Set

Dry Suit Option - Braces Set

Ref: SSUOPTBRACE


Price: £12.50 (Including VAT at 17.5%)


With a custom fit Ultra drysuit, braces are not needed to improve the fit. Braces are useful, however, for pre- and post-dive times when the suit can be worn with the top half down around the waist.


Dry Suit Option - Reflective Tape Kit

Dry Suit Option - Reflective Tape Kit

Ref: SSUOPTRETRO


Price: £13.99 (Including VAT at 17.5%)


Four reflective patches are bonded onto the suit at the ankles and forearms. This improves the visibility of the suit both in and out of the water. This retro tape conforms to SOLAS requirements.



Dry Suit Option - Kevlar Knee PadsDry Suit Option - Kevlar Knee Pads Ref: SSUOPTKEVKN
These knee pads are 3mm neoprene with a Kevlar stretch fabric laminate. They provide extra comfort when kneeling as well as excellent abrasion resistance. The pads are bonded onto the suit to give an additional layer of protection but lead to a very slight loss in flexibility. Pad size 30cm x 16cm.


Price: £18.00 (Including VAT at 17.5%)



Dry Suit Option - PU Shoulder Pads

Dry Suit Option - PU Shoulder Pads

Ref: SSUOPTRNSH


Price: £7.00 (Including VAT at 17.5%)


Polyurethane patches can be bonded onto the suit to protect against the wear caused by harness straps. With the outer fabric used on the Ultra drysuit we feel that these patches are not necessary except when the suit is used in the most arduous conditions, especially since they reduce stretch in the shoulder area which is critical for comfort and mobility.


Dry suit Option - PU Bum Pads

Dry suit Option - PU Bum Pads

Ref: SSUOPTRNBUM


Price: £8.50 (Including VAT at 17.5%)


Polyurethane patches are bonded onto the suit to protect against wear in the seat area. As with the optional shoulder pads, we feel that these are unnecessary except when the suit is used in the most arduous conditions. They reduce the stretch in this area making the suit less flexible.


Dry Suit Option - PU Elbow Pads

Dry Suit Option - PU Elbow Pads

Ref: SSUOPTRNE


Price: £7.00 (Including VAT at 17.5%)


Polyurethane patches are bonded onto the suit to protect against wear on the elbows. As with the shoulder and bum pads, we feel that these are not necessary except when the suit is used in the most arduous conditions, since they reduce the stretch when flexing the arms.


Dry Suit Option - Name Badge Ultra

Dry Suit Option - Name Badge Ultra

Ref: SSNOPTNAMEULTRA


Price: £5.99 (Including VAT at 17.5%)


Having your name on your suit makes it easier to recognise when it's hanging up and makes you more easily identified when you're wearing it. Great for instructors, expedition divers and a good way to remind new buddies and skippers who you are! When ordering, state if you want a national flag included.
