guarantee maximum comfort. The models in
the catalogue all feature the characteristics
listed above. The table given in this manual
will assist the diver in identifying the best
size according to the main personal body
measurements as shown.
IMPORTANT
A dry suit that conforms to standard
regulations must be comfortable and fit
the shape of the body without altering or
limiting movement or impeding respiration.

At the end of this manual (page 86-87), we
have included a specific table to allow for easy
identification of the correct suit size. The list
refers to the dry suits currently available
and sets out the identification of the most

CONTRAINDICATIONS TO USING
ASSEMblED NEOPRENE AND RElATIVE
lININGS
The materials and adhesives used in the
production of SEAC dry suits are selected
and conform to the current standards and
regulations regarding protection, hygiene,
and physical safety of all users. Nevertheless,
certain individuals may have an allergic
reaction caused by specific intolerance to a
particular material.
People who are aware that they may suffer
from these specific pathologies are requested
to ask their retail dealer for more precise
information concerning the suit they intend to
purchase. SEAC will supply further information
concerning the specific materials used upon
request.
If a diver should experience the onset of an
allergic reaction, it is recommended that he/
she avoid using the product.
Inadequate maintenance of the dry suit may
aggravate this phenomenon. The cleaning
and maintenance instruction indicated below
should be followed carefully.

IMPORTANT
In order to safeguard the diver with
regards to all the aspects inherent to
diving activities, the following warning label
is sewn into the suit:
Characteristics of materials used in the
production of this product, together with
inadequate maintenance of the same,
may cause allergic reactions. Consult

Due to the notable buoyancy characteristics of
the materials used and on the basis of the air
introduced into the dry suit, it will be necessary
to use ballast that allows the diver to overcome
the force of buoyancy and reach the desired
depth.
The amount of weights to be used may vary in
function dependant upon diverse factors such as
the thickness of the suit, the equipment used, the
physique of the diver, environmental conditions,
etc. It is recommended that the weights be
tested (for a correct ratio of buoyancy and ballast
to be used) while being observed by an instructor
or an experienced diver before using the dry suit.
Each time we wear the undersuit, we will need
to review the quantity of weights needed,
testing it once again to identify the correct
solution.
As a general guideline, we would suggest that
the weights to be used should allow for the
maintenance of neutral buoyancy at any depth
and with tanks almost empty. No additional
weight to this need be added. It is also generally
accepted that in order to attain neutral
buoyancy at depth, a Buoyancy Compensation
Device (BCD) will be required.
The weights must also allow for a 5-minute
safety stop at 3 meters, in neutral buoyancy
and with a tank containing 50 bars or less. The
diver should not have any difficulty maintaining
this position.
