STEP 9 - SELECT YOUR DRYSUIT HOOD STYLE AND SIZE
[expand title="STANDARD ULTRA DRYSUIT HOOD - WITH COLLAR"]
[/expand]
This is the choice for most DUI divers as it is designed to be worn with a suit with a warm neck collar. The skirt of the hood goes over the latex or silicone seal and tucks underneath the warm neck collar on the drysuit. This helps to reduce water flow and keep the neck warm. Comes in two options: 7mm or 11mm.

[expand title="ULTRA DRYSUIT HOOD - SHORT"]
[/expand]
This hood does NOT have the skirt. Divers who do not have a warm neck collar on their drysuits or have a neoprene neck seal use this style of hood. Divers who tend to be claustrophobic prefer this hood though it does not typically keep the diver as warm. Available in 7mm.

[expand title="ATTACHED LATEX HOOD"]
[/expand]
| Used mainly by Public Safety Divers diving in potentially contaminated water or by divers using a full face mask. Divers selecting this option most always do so using DUI ZipSeals. |
[expand title="ATTACHED NEOPRENE HOOD"]
[/expand]
| About 1% of divers choose to have their hood attached. Most divers prefer a separate hood that allows you to take the hood off between dives or elect not to wear a hood at all. |
