Dive Rite 905 EXP 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.
905 EXP with welded seams
The suit is made in Finland at Dive Rite’s Lahti factory, and it is designed to withstand use, wear, and repetition in both recreational and technical diving. The material is highly flexible and comfortable to wear, and the suit is made from a trilaminate that is approximately 30% lighter, yet just as durable as previous drysuit models.
The material keeps the suit comfortable even on long dives and supports smooth movement underwater. The seams are welded in the same way as on the traditional, legendary 905 Classic model, known for its outstanding seam construction.
The suit features a YKK Aquaseal plastic zipper. The thighs have large pockets for a spare mask, SMB, and other essentials. As standard, the suit comes with 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 SI TECH wrist and neck ring systems with easily replaceable silicone seals, or traditional latex seals.
The suit includes an inflator hose, a well-fitting 5 mm hood, and a 35-liter Dive Rite dry bag for storage and transport.

Watertight seam construction:
Welded seams reduce potential weak points associated with stitching and support dependable sealing.

The SI TECH inflator valve and adjustable automatic dump valve make buoyancy and gas management smooth throughout the dive.
Seals to match your preference:
You can choose latex or silicone seals for the neck and wrists, depending on your needs and preference.
Reinforcements where they matter:
Reinforcements on the knees, elbows, and shoulders improve durability and protect the suit from wear.
A practical, ready-to-dive package:
Large thigh pockets, low-profile neoprene boots, and included accessories (inflator hose, hood, dry bag) make the setup ready to use and easy to travel with.
