Semi-Dry suits

Semi-dry suits bridge the gap between a standard wetsuit and a drysuit. They feature sealed or extremely close-fitting neck and wrist cuffs that drastically reduce the amount of cold water that can flush through the suit during diving. This significantly improves warmth compared to an equivalent-thickness open wetsuit, making semi-dry suits the preferred choice for cold temperate water diving where a drysuit is not available or required. Brands include Mares, ScubaPro and Waterproof.
