BARE SPORTS HDC EXPEDITION TECH DRY
Front-entry zipper and telescoping torso make for a streamlined suit.

Ripstop fabric and M-Padz kneepads provide additional protection.

Made from a blend of heavy-duty, flexible Cordura fabrics, this durable
suit includes a full Cordura exterior to withstand the rigors of technical and cave diving. The slim “cave cut” design greatly improves hydrodynamics.

PINNACLE LIBERATOR
Ripstop nylon construction is rugged enough for the dive instructor, supple enough for a first-time drysuit diver.

Flexible YKK Aquaseal zipper offers a greater range of motion with less weight.

Self-donning trilaminate drysuit features a diagonal front-entry YKK zipper with a protective zipper flap. Heavyweight latex neck and wrist seals keep water out. Includes attached neoprene socks, as well as suspenders and storage bag.

Seac’s shoulder-zip neoprene drysuit has built-in insulation, and its close fit reduces drag. It has smooth-skin seals at neck and wrists, an expandable cargo pocket, and comes with a hood and carry bag.
