Poseidon Flexisuit  Poseidon has made an impact on the dry suit market more than once over the years. In 1962 the Company made the first ever neck seal. In 1963 they launched the first dry suit made of neoprene with a gas tight zipper followed by innovations such as in and outlet valves for dry suits.Now Poseidon is launching the Flexisuit, a new dry suit concept. Designed to merge the flexibility and simplicity of the wetsuit with the drysuit’s advantage to keep the diver warmer in cold water, the Flexisuit is made of a new type of neoprene with an extremely high flexibility/strength ratio. The Flexisuit solves many of the problems typical of drysuit diving. The stretchy material prevents air movement and allows the diver to adjust the amount of underwear to the water temperature. The new sealing material is effective but smooth and the flexibility means no restrictions when diving. The integrated socks are equally flexible and allow the use of both full pocket fins and open heel. To reinforce socks, knees, elbows and the bottom Kevlar coated neoprene is used. Poseidon Diving Systems AB is a world-renowned supplier of diving products for light commercial, professional and the sport diving market. Being established in 1958, Poseidon has contributed to the development of the sport diving industry with innovations like the single hose regulator and the dry suit, just to mention a few.
