Congratulations on purchasing a Waterproof drysuit! Used in conjunction with
suitable accessories, it will provide you with thermal protection in and under
water. This suit was carefully manufactured from highest-quality materials.
With reasonable care it will give you many years of service. Drysuit diving
increases your comfort and safety. Certain aspects of weighting, buoyancy
control and emergency procedure must be handled dierently in a drysuit,
and while the techniques are easy to master for most divers, comprehensive
drysuit diving instruction should be obtained from a diving instructor certied
in the industry.

Risks may arise due to overheating or hypothermia, which can
lead to death in extreme circumstances. Safe performance of the
drysuit depends upon the good physical condition of the user
and the diving environment.
Adjust your clothing and diving activities according to
current conditions.
Heat insulation is lost with increasing water depth.
Use compressed air to ll the suit. If you wish to use other gases
such as oxygen or argon, you must be specially trained. Incorrect
use may cause bodily injury or death.

Assembly
Suit
Your drysuit will be delivered fully assembled.
Low pressure hose
The low pressure inator hose included in delivery must be connected to the suit
inator valve via a quick release connector. Pull back the spring loaded ange on
the quick release connector and push the connector to engage the tting on the
suit inator valve. Release the ange to lock the connector in position. To release
the hose from the suit valve, pull back on the spring loaded ange and pull the
hose away from the valve assembly. The other end of the hose must be connected
to your regulator. Make sure you read your regulator’s user manual.
Boots
For use with an attached boot, no further instructions are needed.
When using a suit with socks, suitable footwear such as neoprene boots
or rock boots must be used.
When wearing drysuits with socks, always use suitable
footwear. Never walk or dive in socks alone.
If you have an ISS silicone seal suit, please read the
“MANUAL SILICONE SEALS.”
Checking the suit before diving
Check the valves for damage before each dive. Ensure there is no sand,
lint or foreign material in the connection.
Make sure both valves are securely screwed into the suit. Ensure that
the inlet valve and exhaust valve are well tightened and work properly by
operating them before every entry into the water. Make sure the connector
is tightly locked into position.
•Activate the inlet valve to check whether air ows into the suit and stops
owing when released.
Check the exhaust valve by lling the suit with an air cushion and then:
•press down on the ange to vent the suit
•rotate the valve ange to change the venting pressure
Inspect the hand and neck seals for cracks or damage.
If the edges of the seals are cracked or torn, it could indicate that
the seals are damaged and could fail. Do not dive in this case.
The suit must be checked by an authorized service station and
replaced or repaired if necessary.
•Remove any rings, watches and jewelery with sharp points before diving.
Do not wear anything that could catch the seals and tear them.
•Ensure that the zipper is properly lubricated.
•If necessary, dust dry latex seals with unscented talc. This will facilitate donning
the suit. In a wet environment, it is advisable to use a water-based lubricant.
•When donning the suit, make very sure that the undergarments do not
catch in the zipper. Pulling the zipper closed over an obstruction can break
the zipper.
•Check your seals and the zipper for jammed undergarment or hair before
entering the water. This is the main cause of water leakage in your drysuit.
•Make sure the zipper is completely closed before you go into the water.

10 DRYSUIT_ENG_DE_FR_20170907 DRYSUIT_ENG_DE_FR_20170907 11
Checking the suit after diving
• After a dive, use fresh water to rinse your dry suit. Clean your zipper of debris.
• Clean your valves of salt and dirt residues.
• Rinse the valves after the dive to remove sand and foreign matter.
• Dry your suit well from the inside and the outside.
Putting on and Taking off
Undergarments
Put on your underpants while sitting down. If available, use the foot loop at the
bottom of the underpants. Keep the foot loop under your foot while diving. Now
stand up and pull up the underpants to the waist. If you’re wearing a one-piece,
put in one arm at a time, then close it. If you’re wearing a two-piece undergar-
ment, pull the top part over your head, then the arms into the sleeves. Tuck your
top under your pants. Take everything o in reverse order.
Drysuit
Put on the legs rst. Make sure the suit is completely opened. Should your suit
have suspenders, keep them at the sides.
Suits with an adjustable length feature have an extendable
elastic strap in the crotch. Open it before you get in the suit,
then close. Tighten it lightly, so you retain full mobility in the suit.
When both legs are in the suit, pull it up to the waist. Now tighten the
suspenders, adjusting length if necessary. Now insert the arms in the sleeves
of the suit, making sure the seals lay at against the skin.
Diagonal front Zipper. Which side of your suit has a zipper end
on the shoulder? Enter with this arm rst. The other arm follows.
Pull your suit up as high as possible, so there is enough material length available
to get your head under the neck seal. Fully extend the neck seal using both hands
and push your head through.
Get another person’s help to...
• check whether the neck seal is at on your skin.
• carefully close the zipper. It is important that the zipper teeth are parallel
and nothing is caught in between.
Put on your hood and slide it’s bottom end under the neoprene collar (warm neck)
of the suit. Take suit o in reverse order.

12 DRYSUIT_ENG_DE_FR_20170907 DRYSUIT_ENG_DE_FR_20170907 13
Diving
An appropriately qualied diver may wear this suit down to
60 m water depth.
Only use undergarments that do not produce excessive lint.
Lint can become caught in the exhaust valve and cause it
to leak.
Use only undergarments made from non-absorptive materials.
Don’t wear cotton sweatshirts, t-shirts, or other garments next
to the skin. Cotton is highly absorptive and will soak up like a
sponge any moisture your body puts out. This creates a thermal
conduit which will conduct heat away from your body and make
you feel cold.
Use only underwear, which does not restrict your mobility, thus
compromising comfort. Waterproof drysuit underwear is specially
developed for this use and allow you to dive comfortably without
restricting your movement.
Weight yourself properly
Spend some time getting your weight right, work with your dealer and/or
instructor to become relaxed and comfortable with your diving system.
Buoyancy control
In order to relieve the squeeze caused by the compression of the air inside the
suit and to maintain neutral buoyancy it will be necessary to introduce air into
the suit via the ination valve as you descend. When ascending, it will be
necessary to vent air from the suit using the adjustable exhaust valve in order
to keep from ascending too quickly. Practice buoyancy control with all of your
equipment including your drysuit in controlled conditions in conned water
before diving in open water.
This drysuit is not made for buoyancy - or lifesaving!
Use the compressed air for pressure compensation and
insulation purposes only.
Ination valve
Waterproof drysuits come equipped with a swiveling ination valve, which allows
for convenient positioning of the low pressure inator hose. Press on the button in
the middle to let in air.
Practice this procedure with all of your diving gear on (including
gloves) as it might be necessary to perform it in an emergency.
Should the inlet valve let in too much air, you must remove the
inator hose. An uncontrolled ascent may occur. Abort your dive
and have your suit checked and/or repaired by an authorized
drysuit dealer.
Exhaust valve
The automatic adjustable exhaust valve is designed to vent excess air from the
suit by simply positioning yourself underwater so that the valve is in the high
position. The amount of air pressure the valve will retain inside the suit is
adjustable. Rotating the valve ange clockwise will increase the air held inside
the suit, rotating the ange counter clockwise will cause the suit to retain less air.
Even when the valve has been rotated fully clockwise so as to retain the maximum
air, pressing downwards on the ange will cause air to vent as if the valve were
fully opened, as long as the pressure is maintained. Most divers nd that diving
with the valve completely or nearly completely opened (turned counter clockwise
as far as possible) allows for the most precise buoyancy control while underwater.
Turning the valve to a more closed position when on the surface (so as to retain
more air) may make resting or swimming more comfortable. Your diving instructor
or retailer can help you nd the buoyancy and weighting combination that works
best for you.
If the outlet valve does not let enough air out, you must open
your seals to let out air. An uncontrolled ascent may occur.
Abort your dive and have your suit checked and/or repaired by
an authorized dry suit dealer.

14 DRYSUIT_ENG_DE_FR_20170907 DRYSUIT_ENG_DE_FR_20170907 15
If you have a Leak
Almost everyone who dives actively in a drysuit sooner or later experiences a leak.
Most of these are minor and result only in slight dampness, however, if you notice
water entering your suit during a dive, end the dive and surface to determine
the cause.
A serious leak could cause serious loss of buoyancy. An uncontrolled
ascent may occur. Abort your dive.
The most likely causes are easy to x and you can use the suit again after it dries.
Major leaks or seal failures are extremely rare.
The most common causes of leaks in drysuits are:
• Failure to get a good seal before entering the water. Hair or undergarments might be
trapped under the seals or the seal might be folded in such a way as to make an entry
point for water.
• Failure to completely close the zipper before entering the water.
• Valve leaks can be caused by a loose connection of valves and inator hose.
Foreign material could have become lodged in the valves. In this case it can often
be corrected by ushing the valve.
Even if you take great care, something may have punctured the suit.
Sea urchin spines, hooks, or sharp metal on boats are common
oenders. It is recommended that you have the repairs done by a
Waterproof authorized dealer who is familiar with drysuit servicing.
Care Instructions
Care of the Valves
The inlet and exhaust valves require little maintenance besides keeping them
clean. They should be periodically checked by a qualied service facility. DO NOT
attempt to disassemble the valves yourself.
Seals
Rinse seals with fresh water and let them dry before storage. Always dust dry latex
seals with unscented talc (available from your Waterproof dealer) before storage.
This ensures that the sleeves do not stick together.
Scented varieties of talcum contain oils that will damage the seals.
Zipper
The Dry zipper is the heart of your drysuit and its most expensive component.
With the right care the zipper can last for the life of the suit. All zippers are
examined and pressure tested before leaving the factory. The drysuit zippers
can only be damaged by mishandling. Please treat with care. We cannot take
responsibility for zippers damaged by misuse.
When opening and closing the zipper be sure the teeth are in
alignment and that the supporting tape is not kinked. This will
normally require two hands. Take great care not to zip
undergarment material into the dry zipper, as this is the most
common way the zipper gets broken.
Metal Zipper
• Clean zipper with fresh water after diving being sure to remove any debris from
between zipper teeth. Dry the zipper before storage.
• Lubricate the zipper with paran wax or beeswax.
• Lubricate on the outside of the teeth only. A very small amount of wax is sucient.
• Make sure your zipper is always waxed.
• Avoid sticky waxes, as they tend to attract sand and grit.
DO NOT use silicone, silicone spray or petroleum based lubricants.
These products can damage your zipper and suit. Check your zipper
before each dive and make sure it runs smoothly.
Storage metal zipper
Store and transport the drysuit with metal zipper open. When the zipper is open,
it is very exible. When closed, it can easily break during transport.
Plastic-molded zipper
• Keep the zipper clean to avoid particles getting caught in the seal and
keeping it open.
• Avoid side stress on the zipper stringers when closing the slider.
• Move the slider in straight direction of the zipper.
• Do not use force to overcome a blocking or if the slider hooks up on the
reinforcing strap (if installed).Pull back, remove the cause of the blocking,
close carefully keeping the stringers parallel.
• Do not overstress the stringers of the open zipper at the ends in
sideway direction.
• When not in use keep the zipper dry and out of the sun.

Waterproof is using dierent types of plastic zippers. Please check
if you have a YKK Aquaseal® or a TIZIP Masterseal 10 and follow
the instructions exactly.
Care instructions for TIZIP
Masterseal 10
Operating force
Opening and closing the TIZIP MasterSeal 10 requires moderate pulling force on
the slider. Please allow a slightly higher pulling force to undock the both ends
closed version. Some lubrication can help to reduce the pulling force on the
docking end. The chain is maintenance free.
Stability
The TIZIP MasterSeal 10’s performance in terms of strength and durability is very
good. However, sharp bending or twisting should be avoided. When closed, the
TIZIP MasterSeal 10 has a cross breaking strength of minimum 200 N/cm.
Storage and transportation
For storage, long- and short term and during transportation we recommend to
leave the zipper chain closed. The closed chain protects the sealing lips from dirt
and damage.
High humidity and temperatures over room temperature
MUST be avoided!
Lubrication
Both ends closed TIZIP MasterSeal 10 zippers need to be lubricated on the
docking end from time to time. Please use the original TIZIP lubricant or other
available zipper lubricants. Carefully apply over the docking end surfaces on front,
back and inside where they connect to the zipper chain. Repeat before long term
storage leaving the slider closed and whenever the area is dry during use.
Cleaning
The TIZIP MasterSeal 10 is highly resistant to damage caused by dirt or sand.
However if dirt or sand are present, the zipper should be cleaned with soap and
water. Dirt particles can aect the sealing function if they get caught between
the chain proles. If the TIZIP MasterSeal 10 closure is used to protect life or
sensitive material, the sealing function and cleanliness of the chain area should
be thoroughly checked prior to every usage.
Care instructions for
YKK Aquaseal®
Smart use of zippers
Slowly move the slider when operating. Angular pulling may cause element
mis-engagement and may result in poor waterproof performance or damage
zippers. Overstretching of the top and bottom stops should be avoided.
AQUASEAL® zipper is sensitive to UV degradation, creasing, and de-lamination and
wear through friction. Folding or crushing the zipper may aect its performance.
Cleaning
Regular cleaning with fresh water and use of a suitable lubricant is advised in
order to prevent damage to the tape and seals. Do not dry clean or machine wash.
Lubrication
After cleaning the zipper, we recommend to apply lubricant to the zipper in order
to maintain the proper waterproof performance.
1. Apply lubricant to the Top-Seal as indicated in
the diagram.
2. The lubricant will then distribute along the zipper
elements, by operating the slider a few times.
Storage
Please do not fold or bend the zippers when they are stored. Please do not store
the garment/goods under the circumstances where it will be over 60°C (140°F).
Store with the zipper completely closed, taking care not to bend it. The storage
in an opened position for long period will cause zipper bending. If this occurs,
slight leaks are possible.

Care Instructions for Breathable
Drysuits
IMPORTANT
Our breathable drysuit fabric is highly waterproof due to the
PU layer, but improper usage or storage could damage the PU layer
and decrease the waterproof capability. It is very important that you
rinse and clean breathable drysuits after each dive and let them dry
completely both inside and outside. Please carefully follow the
care instructions below to maintain the sucient performance of
your drysuit.
Cleaning
• If dirt, salt, oil, or sweat gets on the fabric, rinse o immediately with fresh water.
Drain o the water from the garment and dry completely both inside and
outside in the shade.
• Leaving the garment without rinsing o dirt for long periods may increase the
deterioration of the PU layer, which may reduce the waterproof capability, or
may cause the delamination of the PU layer.
• Do not store the drysuit wet, as this may cause the delamination of the PU layer.
• Do not wring or knead the drysuit, especially when it is wet, as this may cause
the delamination of the PU layer.
• Do not expose the drysuit to the sunlight for long periods, as this may cause the
delamination of the PU layer, and may also decrease the strength of the fabric.
• Even if the garment gets extremely dirty, do not machine wash. Hand wash
with laundry detergent, brush o the dirt, and rinse thoroughly. If the detergent
remains on the fabric, it may reduce the waterproof capability of the fabric, or
may cause the delamination of the PU layer.
Storage
• Wash and dry properly, both inside and outside. Do not leave the drysuit
in a wet condition.
• Do not store in hot and humid conditions (such as in a car, near a radiator
or a stove).
• Store away from direct sunlight.
• Do not store with dirt or salt left on the drysuit.
• Do not fold the drysuit forcibly or place under any heavy object.

20 DRYSUIT_ENG_DE_FR_20170907 DRYSUIT_ENG_DE_FR_20170907 21
Regular inspections
The drysuit must be serviced by qualied professionals authorized by
Waterproof. Repairs must be carried out by service centers authorized
by Waterproof or by Waterproof itself. All activities must be documented in
the repair and maintenance record chart at the end of this document.
Inspection period:
For occasional use (up to 35 dives per year and low stress):
• Recurring inspection after 30 months.
For continued intensive use (more than 35 dives per year or heavy duty use):
• Recurring inspection after 15 months.
The inspection after 15 months can be carried out by trained
users. The 30-month inspection have to be made by Waterproof
Authorized Service Centers or Waterproof itself.
Cleaning
After the dive
Rinse your suit with fresh water after diving, taking particular care to clean sand
and salt from the valves and zipper. Wash your seals occasionally with mild soap.
Dry your suit open in the shadow on a hanger.
For disinfection please email [e-mail]
Other cleaning products may be used only if authorized
by Waterproof.
Storage
Drysuits should not be hung for extended periods on narrow hangers, as the
suit material may become stressed where it passes over the hanger. Extra wide
hangers especially designed for dry or wetsuit storage may be used. Suits may be
stored in their bag, but take care not to repeatedly fold them in the same spot, as
this may create permanent creases in the suit material.
Store the suit away from sources of ozone (electric motors, gas water heaters,
home furnaces, etc.), and away from sources of UV radiation (mainly sunlight),
as both of these may degrade the materials more rapidly.
If you do not use your dry suit for a long time, store it on a wide hanger in a cool
and dry place.
Do not store your suit where it will be subjected to high temperatures. Drysuits
can be damaged by excessive heat.
Do not leave your drysuit in a car in hot weather.
Go to point “zippers” and read how to store dierent
types of zippers.
Protect your suit from sharp objects.
Maximum storage period
Under optimal storage conditions a signicant deterioration of the product
properties can be excluded during a period of 3 years. Therefore, the maximum
duration of storage after initial use is 3 years.
Optimal storage conditions
• Normal room climate (as reference: 65% humidity, 21 ° C)
• Protected from light and without mechanical, chemical and physical inuences
• Inspected regularly (every six months)

22 DRYSUIT_ENG_DE_FR_20170907 DRYSUIT_ENG_DE_FR_20170907 23
Service life
According to EEC Directive 89/686/EEC personal protective
equipment (PPE), an expiry period is to be dened, after which
material aging may deteriorate the protective functions of the PPE.
Information about storage is found in the chapter “Storage.”
Maximum service life is not to be mistaken for the warranty period.
Information about warranty is found in the chapter
“Waterproof Worldwide Warranty.”
Maximum operating life
The maximum operating life is 10 years. It begins with rst use and ends after 10
years of use. The operating life may end sooner if the drysuit has defects which
prohibit further use. Note the date of rst use on the inspection chart and with a
waterproof pen on the suit itself.
If this date has not been marked on the suit or the chart, then date of
purchase will be used to compute operating life. If purchase date is
unknown, then the production date will serve.
Except latex seals which has a shorter lifetime.
Maximum service life
The maximum service life (expiry age) is 13 years. This is computed adding 3 years
maximum storage + 10 years maximum operating life.
To nd the date of manufacture or your suit, please read the
chapter “Product Labels.”
Recommendations for the use of PPE in the industrial sector:
Regular or intensive use and/or extreme conditions such as sharp
edges and chemical inuences lead to a reduced operating life.
The contractor must take this into account when making policy and
risk analysis in the workplace. The contractor has to take note of rst
date of use (rst commissioning of the suit) by documentation in the
maintenance chart in order to observe the operating life guidelines.

How do I nd the right size?
Size really matters! Despite similarities in measurements or weight,
every person’s body is unique. Our size chart is a good starting point
to estimate your size but because a wetsuit should really t like
a second skin, we highly recommend that you visit an authorized
dealer to ensure a perfect t. Although all our drysuits have a
generous cut that allows plenty of room to comfortably t a
standard undersuit, the dierent thicknesses of dierent
undergarments designed for various environments needs to be
taken into account. The best way to achieve the perfect sizing is to
test your drysuit with your own personal undersuit to make sure
it ts perfectly. We advise specically against buying from other
sources. It is better to be safe than sorry, so please seek support
from your local dealer.
1. Ask someone to take your body measurements.
When taking your measurements, it is important that your stand up straight
and that you keep the measuring tape as close to the body as possible. See next
page for information on how to measure and write down your measurements.
2. Check the size charts and choose the chart that corresponds best to your
measurements. Standard, Plus, Tall or Tall/Plus.
To ensure accuracy, check more than one size chart.
3. Mark your measurements in the size chart.
See the examples on the next page.
4. Choose your size.
Choose a size that approximates the average of all your measurements. It is
normal for your measurements to be spread out throughout dierent sizes.
Our suits have enough allowance and range of motion to accommodate these
variations. Soft body parts like the belly can be“compressed”a bit while head
and neck measurements are not as important on a suit. It is important to take
the thickness of the undergarment you usually wear into consideration. If you
wear very thick undergarments you might want to consider a larger size for
comfort. If you are unsure about what size to choose please contact your dealer.
5. Check if suit is available. Look the suit up in the Waterproof catalog and check
if it is available in your size.
Example: Ladies front
zipped Drysuit
Lisa checks the size tables and nds that she is closest to a Medium Plus size in
the PLUS size chart. She also checked the STANDARD size chart but found that the
suits are too tall compared to her height. Therefore she chooses the M/+ size.
