Which Cressi suits are right for cold quarry and lake diving?

Cressi FAQ · 1 question

Summary: For 10°C to 18°C quarry and lake water, Cressi offers the Ice 7 mm semi-drysuit and the Comfort 7 mm and Diver 7 mm wetsuits, all CE certified to EN 14225-1:2017 class B, while the Glacier and Desert drysuits carry CE certification to EN 14225-2:2017 for cold water diving.

Inland cold water usually means long, repeated dives in a narrow temperature band, so we publish the rated range for each suit. The Ice Semi-Dry, the Comfort 7 mm one-piece and the Diver 7 mm one-piece are all specified for water between 10°C and 18°C (50–64.4°F) and carry CE certification as diving wetsuits to EN 14225-1:2017, class B. The Diver includes an integrated hood with a smooth neoprene face seal and front and ankle zips, which suits divers doing several dives in a day; the Comfort 7 mm adds double-sealed wrist and ankle cuffs with GlideSkin inner sleeves and a YKK back zip.

When the water gets colder than that band, our drysuits take over. Both the Glacier and the Desert are CE certified to EN 14225-2:2017 for cold water diving and use 4 mm high-density neoprene pre-compressed from 7 mm, and each ships with a separate 5 mm neoprene hood.
