DUI

Since 1963, Diving Unlimited International has made keeping divers warm their top priority. Starting as a dive retailer specializing in custom wetsuits, we quickly learned that fit was the key. But we also learned that no matter how good the fit, a wetsuit could only take you so far.

In the early 1970’s, DUI invented the hot water suit. Hot water is pumped down to the diver through an umbilical. Perforated hoses line the suit surrounding the diver in hot water. This suit has saved many divers’ lives over the years and is still the standard for most commercial diving today. But it isn’t very convenient for a recreational diver.

Later that decade, DUI began experimenting with different materials for drysuits. After we produced a truly dry suit, we had to educate divers on the benefits. It’s not just for research, commercial or wreck diving. Divers of all types can benefit from diving dry. Next we showed divers that, because of the durability of a DUI drysuit as well as the comfort and insulation it provides, you can dive longer with a drysuit. This makes your DUI drysuit a better value than a wetsuit. Dive for dive, a drysuit costs you less than a wetsuit.

It wasn’t long before other manufacturers began copying DUI. That only increased our desire to become more innovative with designs and features.

bulletThe telescoping torso – the first truly self-donning drysuit.
bulletFit – at DUI it has been vital that a drysuit be streamlined yet enable the diver to have complete freedom of movement. DUI has over 150 patterns per suit style to give a diver the best fit possible.
bulletFeatures – Warm neck collars, zipper guards to protect the waterproof zipper, suspenders, knee overlays for extra durability, etc.
bulletRockBoots™ – DUI was the first to provide divers with superior support, durability and traction for climbing up a boat ladder or going on a shore dive.
bulletZipSeals™, the latest innovation — ZipSeals™ give the diver the ability to change their latex neck or wrist seal themselves in less than a minute. You’ll never have to worry about tearing a seal again.

All of these innovations plus industry-leading quality have enabled DUI to provide divers with a 7-year warranty – the best in the industry. DUI has also created superior divewear insulation to keep divers warm no matter what conditions they are diving in. And it’s not just the big things. DUI designs glove systems to provide divers with warm and dry hands as well as pockets that are easy to open under water with just one hand. The DUI difference is in the details.
