USER MANUAL
This drysuit construcon does not imply any technical depth restricons while using it.
The maximum depth it is possible to dive to is limited to the diver’s knowledge and qualicaons,
gas mixture, thermal protecon and suitable technical security. The inability of the diver to fulll
some or all of these condions can seriously endanger health or even cause loss of life.
Inaon of the drysuit with air should be done by using the aached inaon hose. The inaon
hose should be connected to the bole with air and to the inaon valve in the drysuit. The air
is supplied from the bole by the rst stage regulator through the inaon valve to the inside of
the drysuit. Using the buon on the inaon valve and the deaon valve on the arm, the user
may regulate the quanty of the air inside.
The drysuit is intended for recreaonal and professional diving in both natural areas and arcial
manmade containers and reservoirs.
Main purpose of the drysuit is to protect from water.
The drysuit helps to protect the diver from grazes and also to some degree the under-water ora
and fauna. It prevents from cuts and injuries of the body underwater. Excessive and unwary use
of the drysuit will inevitably damage the material.
The diving drysuit is manufactured according to the PN-EN14225-2:2018-02 standard.
The list of the components used in the drysuits is described on page 5.
The drysuit is capable of operang within a range of temperatures. The manufacturer suggests
that thermal protecon should be chosen based on following condions: water temperature,
season of the year, diving depth and level of acvity under water. Temperature might inuence
diving comfort and diving length, in extreme situaons may aect your health and safety.

Drysuit isolaon depends on the right undersuit and thermal underwear selecon. Lack of right
thermal protecon might cause thermoregulatory disorders what can cause the hyperthermia
and hypothermia.
While using the drysuit the user should remember about not reaching the dangerous tempo of
work acvity. To avoid such level of harassment please acknowledge the following:
The drysuit is designed for recreaonal and professional diving. It can be used in natural and
arcial water reservoirs. Factors such as: water purity, pH, chlorine etc. should be within the
range tolerated by the human skin.
Drysuit does not isolate in 100% diver’s skin. Diving in contaminated waters can cause allergic
reacons. Chemical contaminaon of water may also cause damage or deformaon of the suit.
Pay aenon to the rules of Undersuit selecon to the reservoir temperature and meteorological
condions. Drysuit protects the diver’s body against abrasion and underwater ora and fauna
within a reasonable range. Excessive and careless operaon may damage the drysuit material.
Pay special aenon to abrasions during dives on reefs, wrecks and caves. Addional patches
provide longer life of the knees material.
Your buoyancy should always be neutral. You should always BCD system together with drysuit.
While descending you should control your buoyancy with the inlet valve by adding the air to
your drysuit together with depth change to avoid damage caused by hydrostac pressure.
While ascending the overlap of air should be released by the dump valve on an arm to prevent
unexpected surface emerge.
Thermal isolaon is reduced due to hydrostac pressure, which is increasing with depth. The
user must be aware that thermal capacity of the undersuit might be reduced.
The drysuit is compable with all standard diving equipment, such as: undersuit, mask, ns, BCD,
tanks, regulator or other equipment designed to use with drysuits. The user should be trained
and familiar with the use of the equipment for use with the drysuit.
Use of any gas for inaon of the drysuit other than normal air like oxygen or argon enriched
gases can cause the risk of health and equipment damage. The manufacturer suggests adequate
training prior to use enriched gas.
Every synthec material also the drysuit material might cause allergic reacons. Before using
the drysuit, please make sure that the user is not allergic to material which the drysuit is made
of, as well as the other elements included in the drysuit, such as: neck seal, neck warmer and
the wrist seals.

Before each dive the following should be checked:
• drysuit is complete and in working order,
• drysuit is clean, there is no sand, insects, plant pieces or other things which may cause
discomfort,
• zips are not damaged and zip elements are ne.
Aer each diving, if the drysuit is dirty, you can use the following steps for cleaning and
disinfecon:To keep the suit clean, rinse the external part of the diving suit with clean water
(especially aer diving in salty water). This will remove the salt and mud from the fasteners and
will limit the formaon of mould, as well as the development of bacteria. Rinse with a strong
stream of running water. Aer rinsing, dry the diving suit. Drying the diving suit is necessary in
such circumstances, where the diving suit has been ooded with water. First completely dry the
inside of the diving suit followed by the same procedure with the outside. When drying, the
diving suit should be hung on a wide hanger with the fasteners unzipped and all other parts of
the suit hanging freely Avoid drying in the sun, near chemical substances or open re, as well
as heaters, electric engines or other devices that produce ozone. The eect of these can cause
color – fading and damage elements of the diving suit. Aer drying examine the diving suit
according to the procedures given in this manual, point 2.4.
When purchasing a drysuit the user should noce the available selecon and their suitability for
the type of intended diving. The drysuit is extremely universal, making it possible for use with a
variety of undersuits to match a given acvity.
Before purchasing a drysuit it is necessary to match suitable underwear and undersuit. An ideal
soluon is to have an undersuit consisng of 3 layers. Because of the dierence between internal
and outside temperatures, dampness is condensing on the internal part of the drysuit, therefore
the outside layer of the undersuit must absorb this moisture eciently. In case of any allergic
reacons due to drysuit material, please contact the doctor.
Correct ng of the drysuit gives much more comfort and sasfacon during use. Fing should
be carried out when wearing suitable underwear and an appropriate undersuit. Size of drysuit
should be based on the informaon in the following table, taking the correct measurements of
the indicated body parts.
SANTI has in its oer standard sizing as well as a made to measure opon which is done basing on
the measurements given by the client. There is a possibility of small changes and modicaons
according to the client expectaons.

The drysuit should be chosen according to the SANTI size chart above. It is necessary to put
on an undersuit rst and then put on the drysuit according to the instrucon on page 14. It is
important to check whether there are no loose folds, which may restrict the user movements. A
correct choice of suit size ensures good thermal insulaon combined with freedom of movement
underwater. It is essenal to choose a size that is neither too ght, nor too loose and pay strict
aenon to under arm measurements, which if too ght may severely restrict the diver from
raising his arms. Tightness at the leg and crotch can unable the diver from drawing knees up to
chest and also ghtness at the chest can restrict the divers’ ability to breathe freely and cause no
restricng to blood circulaon. The suit should not cause stress on the neck, wrists or the diver’s
face. All movements in the normal anatomical range must be executed without any resistance.
All normal movements such as: bending the trunk forward, bending and stretching legs, bringing
knees up to the chest, twisng and turning the trunk, and bending and stretching the arms
should be possible to be made easily and without any restricon. Aer execung all of these
movements the drysuit should always return to its original shape.
All normal movements should be possible to be made easily and without any restricon
All HD seals are produced in all common sizes. If it is necessary to make adjustment to the neck
seals, it should be made by cung o around the circumference and remove one of 5mm rings
and then try it on again. Then neck seal is conical shape, so removing one 5mm ring will slightly
increase its size. Connue in this way unl a sasfactory waterghts t is obtained. Ensure not to
leave ragged edges when cung as this can cause the material to split when stretched.
If it is necessary to make adjustment to the wrist seals, it should be made by cung o around
the circumference of the suggested lines. The cuts should be straight and smooth. Try on a seal,
aer each me you trim it. This instrucon is applicable only for conical or silicone seals. HD
seals should not be modied.
