Summary

[edit]
Description

For light to moderately polluted areas, or dive sites that have the potential to be contaminated extra precautions are necessary.

Divers should be kept completely dry and use a decontamination compatible drysuit.

EPA studies have shown that a drysuit with a slick exterior can be decontaminated with simple potable water for sites with microbial contamination.
