Santi Drysuits
Off-Season diving in New England is an incredible opportunity to see the underwater world under a whole different light. As algae and plankton dies back, nudibranchs roam the pink coraline encrusted rocks in search of hydroids in remarkably clear waters. Unlocking access to this season is as simple as investing in the right gear and training.
If you’re ready to invest in a drysuit the most important factor in your decision should be a good fit. That’s why ECD has been investing in Santi Drysuits for the past seven years. Santi not only provides extremely high quality trim-laminate suits at competitive prices but their suits are extremely well fitted and come with minor size adjustments without upgrading to full made-to-measure (and the added costs thereof). When it comes to quality, fit, and value look no further than Santi.
Quality: With superb custom fabric laminates and vertical integration at their factory, the Santi team can deliver the highest quality drysuits. Materials include durable E.Lite material Nylon/Butylene/Polyester (515g/sqm), light weight E.Motion Ripstop Nylon/Butylene/Polyester (235 gr/sqm), and super flexible elastic, light fabric (425g/sqm) on the E.Lite Plus upper suit. In addition, Santi includes kevlar knee pads for added durability. Select your preferred valves from Apex or SiTech. Carefully designed elements and material selection ensure your suit will stand up to the test of time.
Fit: Santi blows the rest of the industry away with their fit. The suits are modeled around a more technical fit that prevents unnecessary air from ballooning the suit in awkward places. Santi Lady’s First systems are designed for women from the start for an incredible fit. The company also supports minor alterations to stock suits for no additional cost meaning you can come away with the perfect fit without spending big bucks on made to measure.
Value: Santi offers “Plus” suits which feature a ton of added accessories for a very reasonable price. From included smart ring systems, pee valves and accessory bags, hats and hoods, you’ll walk away from your investment with everything you’d need for a cold season dive excursion. Plus suits feature all of the following items:
