Why do we sometimes receive diving suits with an odd smell? The root cause lies in the materials used. As is well known, diving materials are synthetic foam rubber. When they are freshly produced and not yet stable, we can smell a faint rubber odor on the original board. Once the diving material board stabilizes, this smell will become very faint. Our products only use diving materials that are factory-produced after the board stabilizes. Thus, customers will not receive any unpleasant smell when they receive diving suits. So, what should we do if we smell an unpleasant odor? Currently, customers who purchase raw materials have not reported any unpleasant odor, but in general, customers who purchase composite materials have more complaints. Why is that? Because the adhesive used in the composite fabric is unique, so there will...

Diving Wetsuit Common Quality Issues Diagnostic Guide: Essential Inspection Handbook for Traders As a professional diving wetsuit manufacturer, we understand that traders care not only about price but also about product quality. Poor-quality wetsuits not only affect the end-user experience but may also lead to after-sales disputes, damaging your brand reputation. This guide will help you quickly identify common quality issues in diving wetsuits, ensuring the products you source meet industry standards and provide reliable performance for your customers. Material Defects: Neoprene Quality Issues (1) Uneven Thickness Symptoms: Certain areas of the wetsuit are noticeably thinner or thicker than the standard, affecting insulation and durability. Inspection Method: Feel key areas (chest, back, knees) by hand and compare thickness variations. Use calipers to measure—tolerances exceeding ±0.2mm are unacceptable. (2) Air Bubbles or Delamination Symptoms: Bubbles inside the neoprene or separation between layers, leading...

Diving Wetsuits: Your Second Skin Underwater – 3 Key Selection Tips & 3 Warmth Retention Secrets (Save 80% Trial-and-Error Costs) "At 30 meters in the Maldives, the water temperature plummeted to 18°C—my fingers trembled from cold, unable to operate the camera. That moment taught me: a reliable wetsuit is a diver’s ‘armor’ when negotiating with the ocean." Statistics show that 70% of diving accidents are related to improper gear selection, and the wetsuit, as the primary protective layer, directly impacts comfort and safety. As experts in aquatic sports manufacturing, we’re breaking down wetsuit selection into three dimensions: material science, scenario-based fitting, and mistake-proofing strategies. I. Material Breakdown: The Science Behind Warmth Retention Neoprene vs. Polyethylene Foam: Neoprene: High elasticity (200% stretch), ideal for scuba diving with dynamic movement. Polyethylene Foam: Ultra-light buoyancy (30% weight reduction), preferred for freediving. Yulex Natural Rubber: Eco-friendly...

Wetsuit Explained Advantages of Wetsuits Wetsuits are a popular choice for scuba diving due to their ease of use and affordability. Made from neoprene, which contains tiny air bubbles, they provide excellent insulation. Wetsuits come in thicknesses ranging from 2mm to 9mm—the thicker the suit, the warmer it keeps you. However, 5-6mm suits can feel bulky and less comfortable. Types of Wetsuits & How to Choose Full wetsuits (one-piece design) are the most common, offering full-body coverage. Their versatility in thickness makes them suitable for various water temperatures. Shorty wetsuits (short sleeves and mid-thigh legs) are ideal for warm-water diving. Farmer John wetsuits feature a bib-style overall with an optional hooded jacket, designed for cold-water diving. The layered design provides extra warmth and protection. Additional accessories like separate hoods, gloves, and vests are available at dive shops, offering extra protection based on...
