Dive Rite 905 Classic is a drysuit for divers who want a reliable, long-lasting, and carefully finished solution for demanding conditions. When the water is cold and the dive is long, a properly functioning drysuit is not just about comfort - it is an essential part of safety. The 905 Classic is an extremely durable drysuit made in Finland from Parmasoft trilaminate, designed for stable, long-term use in both recreational and technical diving.
905 Classic with welded seams
The suit’s seams are welded, not stitched like on typical drysuits. This reduces potential weak points associated with stitching and supports dependable watertightness. The knees, elbows, and shoulders are reinforced with abrasion-resistant material to withstand heavy use and repetition in demanding conditions.
The suit comes standard with a modern YKK Aquaseal plastic zipper, but you can also choose a metal zipper as a custom option. The thighs feature large pockets for a spare mask, SMB, and other essentials. As standard, the suit includes durable neoprene boots with a rubber sole and a reinforced toe area. Thanks to the low-profile boots, you can often use the same fins you use with wetsuit boots.
You can choose either Waterproof wrist ring systems and a SI TECH neck ring with easily replaceable silicone seals, or traditional latex seals. If you want different wrist or neck seal configurations, ask us — we will help you find the best setup for your needs.
The suit includes an inflator hose, a well-fitting 5 mm hood, and a 35-liter Dive Rite dry bag for storage and transport.
