What are the advantages of a semi dry suit?

The semi dry suits look almost similar to a regular suit, but upon nearest examination, you´ll detect that its wrist, ankle, and neck fittings are much tighter as compared to the dry suit. This suit decreases the quantity of water that can penetrate the suit and your body is very comfortable while wearing this suit. Semi dry suits are suitable for a wide range of water temperatures. They can be used in both warm and cool waters, depending on the thickness of the suit and the additional layers worn underneath. This versatility makes them a popular choice for divers who engage in different diving environments and conditions. You can buy semi dry suits from Cressi, SEAC, Mares, Apeks, and Aqualung. Unlike wetsuits, semi dry suits feature various sealing mechanisms, such as wrist and ankle cuffs, neck seals, and zippers, which help minimize water exchange. This means less cold water enters the suit and comes into direct contact with the diver´s skin, reducing the sensation of cold and increasing overall comfort during longer dives.
Compared to drysuits, semi dry suits are generally easier to don and doff. They often feature simpler entry systems, such as front or back zippers, that are less complex and time consuming to operate. This can be advantageous when diving in situations where quick changes or repeated entries and exits are necessary.
Semi dry suits tend to compress less than wetsuits, which means they provide more consistent buoyancy throughout the dive. This can contribute to better control and stability underwater, as divers experience fewer buoyancy fluctuations due to changes in suit compression at various depths.
