Previous SEL Number: 01WA-03-UNDR

Description: Undergarment for use with dry suit in diving operations, including contaminated water diving.

ImportantFeatures: Whether in regular or contaminated water operations, dry suit underwear is generally worn with an ensemble that consists of dry suit, dry suit gloves or mittens, dry suit boots or booties, and swimming fins. The ensemble is designed to maintain integrity of the breathing air supply, insulate against cold water, and protect against physical hazards. The dry suit underwear is intended to assist in protecting from exposure to cold temperature water and should demonstrate adequate insulation.

Operating Considerations: In contaminated water operations, the undergarment is not part of the barrier protection, and must not interfere with the integrity of the dry suit and other ensemble components.
