Introduction

Welcome to SCUBAPRO and thank you for purchasing one of our wetsuits. In order to reduce our ecological footprint, we have decided to only publish our manuals digitally, and make them available on our web sites. This manual provides you with easy access to the key features and functions of our SCUBAPRO wetsuits, along with recommendations on how best to service and care for your suit. Should you wish to know more about SCUBAPRO diving equipment, please visit our website at www.scubapro.com.

WARNING

  • Scubapro strongly recommends all divers undergo training and familiarization with a certified instructor before using this product.
  • Avoid the temptation to grab hold of your suit’s i-safe straps and use them as pull handles when putting on or taking off your suit. I-safe strap are designed to secure your wrist instruments. While very effective at keeping your dive computer or wrist compass from sliding up and down your arm when diving, an i-safe strap won’t survive being tugged on.
  • Do not remove the stitched labels. Labels show mandatory information about the product and production dates. Proof of purchasing date or production date will be needed in case of warranty claim.
  • Buoyancy changes at depth: all neoprene products used in scuba diving use closed-cell foam to provide thermal protection. As you descend, the increase in pressure causes these cells to compress, resulting in a reduction of buoyancy. Being aware of this loss of buoyancy and being prepared to compensate for it, is vital in maximizing the comfort and efficiency of your new wetsuit.
  • Thermal protection loss at depth: when neoprene compresses under pressure the thermal performance of the material is also reduced. If you plan to extend your bottom time at deeper depths you must be prepared for this loss of thermal protection by either wearing a thicker wetsuit or adding thermal under – layers.
  • A small percentage of the population experiences allergic reactions to neoprene, polyester and nylon. Be aware of any possible reactions you might be experiencing when wearing your new wetsuit and take appropriate action.
  • Hypothermia/hyperthermia: whatever the conditions you’re diving in, you need to be aware of your own thermal comfort range so you can prevent getting chilled or overheated. If your body loses to much heat and its temperature dips to unsafe levels, you are experiencing hypothermia. If your body temperature rises above its normal range, that’s hypertermia. While hypothermia is what normally comes to mind when dealing with diving, hyperthermia is not uncommon and it can sneak up on you during surface intervals in warm climates, while diving in warm, shallow waters, or when engaged in activities that require a higher – than
    • Normal workload. Because of this, during any warm-water diving activity you need to constantly monitored your workload to prevent excessive gas consumption, fatigue, stress or overheating. On the other hand, when diving in cold water, always wear gloves, boots and a hood to minimize the risk of hypothermia. By properly protecting your body and its extremities and by being aware of your own limitations and comfort range, you will be able to recognize a potentially dangerous situation before it’s too late. Hyperthermia and hypothermia can be harmful and possibly fatal conditions.
  • ALWAYS check to make sure the zipper is functioning properly before using your wetsuit.
  • ALWAYS remember that the amount of ballast weight you use when wearing your wetsuit should be just enough to achieve neutral buoyancy with an empty tank – and no more.

Ballast Weight Tip: With the correct amount of weight, you should be able to remain neutrally buoyant at a depth of 3 meters (10 feet) in order to make a 5- minute safety stop with 30 bar (500 psi) or less of tank pressure.

  • NEVER exceed the maximum depth you are qualified for by your certification level.
  • NEVER use your wetsuit in contaminated or heavily polluted environments, or in toxic or hydrocarbon-rich waters.
  • NEVER use your wetsuit as a safety/buoyancy device.
  • NEVER use your wetsuit with a weight harness or other weight system not equipped with a quick-release system.

MOD – Max Operating Depth
The European Norm EN 250 norms restricts the depth to 50 meters for recreational diving. For technical diving the MOD is well beyond the recreational diving limits.

SIZE NOTE: The size chart in the manual are intended to act as a sizing guide. We recommend that all suits be tried on to ensure a perfect fit. Please allow for undergarments in your measurements. We recommend if you are between sizes to choose the larger size. Not all sizes are available in all models.
