Welcome to Waterproof, producer of award winning high quality diving suits and accessories.
Waterproof was established in Göteborg, Sweden 1984. The secret behind Waterproofs success
is very simple. We do our own diving! That is the only true way to find out where the need is and
adjust according to it. Hands on experience, built right into our suits, together with a never ending
curiosity of how to extend the limits of diving.
That is what we call Facing Reality.

General warnings
Please read the entire User manual before diving.
Failure to follow the instructions in this manual can result
in serious injury or death.
This suit is only to be used by an individual who has had specic
training in its use or who is under the supervision of an industry
recognized diving instructor.
The buoyancy of the suit will change depending on the depth.
Some materials used in this suit may cause allergic reactions.
Risks may arise due to overheating or hypothermia, which can lead
to death in extreme circumstances.
Safe performance of the suit depends upon the good physical condition
of the user and the diving environment. Adjust your equipment and
diving activities according to current conditions.
Heat insulation is lost with increasing water depth.
Choose the right suit for your planned dive and water temperature.
For more information see chapter Temperature conditions.
Only use suits that t you. For non-tting suits, hazards such as
hypothermia or constriction may occur.
Temperature Conditions
It is important for you to wear the appropriate suit for the corresponding water
temperature. To give you a hint, you can refer to the following table.
l
W30 is no suit acc. to EN14225-1. The thermal performance class is under
“CLASS D” because of the soft thin neoprene.
The specied temperature ranges were determined according to
EN14225-1 by measuring the thermal resistance of the suit materials.
This is a laboratory test in which accuracy of t with anatomically
preformed suits, tight cuffs or gas-tight zippers, as in Semidry suits,
are not taken into account.
There is no general rule as to which wetsuit should be worn at what
water temperature. The physical condition of the diver, his physique,
the work performance and working conditions have an inuence.

EC type examination and suit type
The suits herein described are certied according to the Regulation (EU)
2016/425 PPE and exceed the minimum requirements of the EN14225-1:2017.
The risks identied in the risk assessment are presented on the basis of the
above warnings.

The below suits have been tested by an independent institution in accordance
with the requirements of European standards EN14225-1:2017.

10 WETSUIT_ENG_DE_FR_20200408 WETSUIT_ENG_DE_FR_20200408 11
Putting on the wetsuit
1. Unzip the wetsuit, make sure that the suit is fully unzipped.
2. Start with your feet and legs. Once you have the wetsuit lined up, pull your
wetsuit over your foot and ankle, gradually working it up over the knee one leg
at a time. Make sure that any wetsuit padding is properly aligned.
There shouldn’t be any large wrinkles or folds. Once the wetsuit is up around
mid thigh, switch to the other leg.
If either you or the wetsuit is wet and you have difculty pulling it on, consider
using plastic bags or socks on your feet. This can make it easier. Work out rolls
and ripples in the wetsuit as you move up your legs.
3. Once the suit is past mid thigh on both legs, gently pull the suit past your hips
until the seam is nestled snugly in your crotch. Now pull the suit up over your
torso and onto your shoulders.
4. Insert one arm at a time. Use the same method that you did with your legs.
Be careful with ngernails on the fabric. Gently pull the suit up your arms and
then lift it onto your chest.
5. If you have a rear-zip wetsuit, have a friend help you zip up. Reaching and
trying to zip it yourself can put strain on both the zipper and suit which could
damage the suit seams or teeth in the zipper. Use the webbing grip at the
zipper end.
6. Close the Velcro fastenings over the zipper and at the neck area. This prevents
the zipper from unzipping and make your suit more watertight. Also adjust the
arm and leg seals and close arm and leg zippers. If you have boots, hood or
gloves, make sure they are installed properly to get the best seal to prevent
water from getting into the suit.
Before diving
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
Practice buoyancy control with all of your equipment in controlled conditions in
conned water before diving in open water.
Taking off the wetsuit
1. Unzip the suit fully or have a friend or partner to unzip it if it is a rear-zip
wetsuit. Unzip arms and legs.
2. Remove the wetsuit from your neck and shoulders. Peel the wetsuit off of
your neck and down your shoulders. To get it off of your shoulders it helps to
slide a thumb between your shoulder and the wetsuit.
3. ”Peel off” the suit of your arms. One at a time, remove your arms from the
wetsuit. Be sure to use your ngertips rather than ngernails. Pull each arm
fully out of its sleeve, leaving the arms inside out.
4. Pull it down your torso and hips. Peel the suit down your torso like a banana.
Then you’ll want to pull it past your hips in a single motion. Wiggle if you need
to in order to get the wetsuit past your buttocks.
5. Roll the wetsuit down your legs. When you get to your ankles, put a hand
inside of the wetsuit at the ankle and use it to hold the wetsuit leg open while
you slide your foot out. Repeat with the other foot.

Care Instructions
A prolonged exposure to heat, ozone, chlorine or UV rays causes
neoprene decomposition.
Dry zipper (if your suit has one)
The Dry zipper is the heart of your suit and its most expensive component.
With the right care the zipper it can last for the life of the suit. All zippers are
examined and pressure tested before leaving the factory. The dry 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.
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 parafn wax or beeswax.
• Lubricate on the outside of the teeth only. A very small amount of wax
is suf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 suit 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 different 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!

14 WETSUIT_ENG_DE_FR_20200408 WETSUIT_ENG_DE_FR_20200408 15
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 affect 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.
Apply lubricant to the Top-Seal as indicated
in the diagram. 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.
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 affect 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.

Maintenance and repair
Maintenance and repair need to be made by Waterproof
Authorized Service Centers.
Cleaning
After the dive
Rinse your suit with fresh water after diving, taking particular care to clean sand
and salt from the zipper. Wash your suit occasionally with mild soap.
Dry your suit open in the shadow on a hanger.
For disinfection products please visit www.ew80-dive.eu/english/products/
Other cleaning products may be used only if authorized
by Waterproof.
Storage
Suits should not be hung for extended periods on narrow hangers, as the suit
material may become stressed where it passes over the hanger. Use extra wide
hangers especially designed for wetsuit storage (WP Hanger). Suits should never
be stored in a bag, it may create permanent creases in the suit material.
Store the suit away from sources of heat 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 suit for a long time, store it on a wide hanger in a cool and
dry place.
Do not leave your suit in a car in hot weather.
Go to point “zippers” and read how to store different
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)

18 WETSUIT_ENG_DE_FR_20200408 WETSUIT_ENG_DE_FR_20200408 19
Service life
According to Regulation (EU) 2016/425 PPE 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 suit 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.
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 find 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. 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 different sizes.
Our suits have enough allowance and range of motion to accommodate these
variations. Keep in mind that soft body parts like the belly can be “compressed”
a bit. If you are unsure about what size to choose please contact your dealer.
5. Check if suit is available in your size.
Example: Ladies Wetsuit
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.

Allgemeine Warnungen
Bitte lesen Sie die gesamte Gebrauchsanweisung vor dem Tauchen.
Die Nichtbeachtung der Anweisungen in dieser Gebrauchsanweisung
kann zu schweren Verletzungen oder zum Tod führen.
Dieser Anzug darf nur von einer Person benutzt werden, die speziell in
seinem Gebrauch ausgebildet wurde oder von einem von der
Industrie anerkannten Tauchlehrer beaufsichtigt wird.
Es besteht das Risiko, dass sich der Auftrieb des Anzuges in
Abhängigkeit von der Tauchtiefe ändert.
Gegebenenfalls können im Anzug verwendete Materialien bei
Personen allergische Reaktionen verursachen.
Es kann zu Risiken durch Überhitzungen oder Unterkühlungen
kommen, die bei extremen Bedingungen bis zum Tode führen
können.
Die sicher zu bewältigende Arbeitsleistung des Anzuges
hängt stark von der persönlichen Konstitution und Kondition sowie
den Einsatzszenarien ab. Stimmen Sie Ihre Aktivitäten und den
geplanten Tauchgang für die jeweils vorliegenden Bedingungen
aufeinander ab.
Sie verlieren mit zunehmender Wassertiefe Wärmeisolierung.
Verwenden Sie nur Anzüge, die Ihnen passen. Bei nicht passenden
Anzügen entstehen Gefahren wie z. B. Unterkühlungen
oder Beengung.
Benutzen Sie immer Anzüge, die für die jeweilige Wassertemperatur
und den Einsatz geeignet sind. Mehr Informationen nden Sie
unter Temperaturbedingungen.
Temperaturbedingungen
Es ist für Sie wichtig, den richtigen Anzug für die entsprechende Wasser-
temperatur zu tragen. Um Ihnen einen Anhalt zu geben, können Sie sich
an folgender Tabelle orientieren.
l
Der W30 ist kein Tauchanzug gem. EN 14225-1. Auf Grund des dünnen Materials
wird die „Thermische Leistungsklasse D” unterschritten.
Die angegeben Temperaturbereiche wurden nach EN 14225-1 durch
Messen des Wärmedurchgangswiderstandes der Anzugmaterialien
ermittelt. Dies ist ein Labortest, in dem Passgenauigkeit bei anatomisch
vorgeformten Anzügen, dichte Manschetten oder gasdichte Reißver-
schlüsse, wie bei Semidry-Anzügen, nicht berücksichtigt sind.
Es gibt keine allgemein gültige Regel im Hinblick darauf, welcher
Nasstauchanzug bei welcher Wassertemperatur zu tragen ist.
Dies wird u. a. durch die körperliche Verfassung des Tauchers,
seinen Körperbau, die Arbeitsleistungen und die Arbeitsbedingungen
beeinusst.
