Description
The Viking PRO (Formerly Viking Pro 1000) is popular for many Public Safety Diving applications. Rescue and recovery divers can't choose where and when to dive and may be forced to dive in contaminated waters. Consequently, it is vitally important for them to use a suit that combines protection against hazardous waters with flexibility and comfort. A Viking Pro drysuit in combination with either a rubber or a latex hood and a sleeve ring system with attached dry gloves is one of the best alternatives available. In conjunction with a positive-pressure full-face mask, you are well equipped even for diving in most contaminated water situations.
The Viking HD 1500 suit is made of red or black EPDM/natural rubber with a two way stretch polyester lining. The suit is fitted with rotating inlet and exhaust valves and a heavy-duty zip. The suit is equipped with black integrated reinforcements over the shoulders and from the foot up over the knee. As an option, the Viking HD 1500 suit can be equipped with various pockets and a relief zip.
Commercial divers use a wide range of straps and harnesses. To avoid the problem of equipment interfering with valves, the Viking inlet valve can be positioned flexibly on the chest and the long heavy-duty zipper makes the suit easy to don.
