Diving Suits: What You Need to Know Before Buying

A wetsuit is one of the most important pieces of equipment for a diver. It protects your body from cold, sunburn, jellyfish, and abrasions. But how do you choose the right suit if you're planning to dive in the Red Sea, especially in the Eilat area?

At Ahla Dive, we help every customer find the perfect suit for their specific diving conditions. Let’s explore the different types and features of diving suits.

Main Types of Diving Suits:

1. Wet Suits:
The most common type for the Red Sea. Made of neoprene, they fit snugly to the body and allow a thin layer of water inside, which warms up quickly and keeps you insulated. Ideal for water temperatures of +22°C and above.

2. Semi-Dry Suits:
Feature sealed zippers and cuffs that limit water flow and provide better insulation. Recommended for longer or deeper dives.

3. Dry Suits:
Completely isolate the body from water. Used in cold water and require specific training to use. Suitable for winter diving or diving in colder countries.

How to Choose the Right Suit:

• Water Temperature:
  For the Red Sea, wetsuits 3–5 mm thick are suitable. During the colder season, choose 5–7 mm or semi-dry models.

• Type of Diving:
  For deep or extended dives, go for suits with better thermal protection.

• Size and Fit:
  The suit should be snug but not restrictive. We offer in-store fitting in Eilat.

• Brands and Quality:
  At Ahla Dive, you’ll find suits from top manufacturers: TDS, Mares, Scubapro, Aqualung, and more.
