DRYSUIT OPTIONS

REFLECTIVE TAPES

Radar and light reflective tapes provide added safety for diving conditions with reduced visibility, night diving or in conditions with a lot of current.  The color of the backing pad of these reflective tapes can be customized.

 

WARM NECK COLLAR & EXTERNAL ZIPPER PROTECTOR

Both the warm neck collar and the external zipper protector have velcro closures which allow for a flexible and streamlined diving system.

INFLATION & EXHAUST VALVES

Swivel inflation valves are standard on all Diving Concepts drysuits.  High quality variable exhaust valves and the latest cuff dump design are available.  Diving Concepts' cuff dumps are unique in that they have a backing pad on the inside of the valve to allow air to escape out on your drysuit without concern of the valve sticking to your undersuit.
