Pros Of The SI-TECH Quick Change System
Convenience: The biggest advantage is the ability to quickly replace a damaged seal, even while on a dive trip. No more missed dives due to seal damage!
Cost-Effective: In the long run, being able to change your own seals can save you money on professional repairs.
Customisation: You can switch between different types of seals (latex, silicone, neoprene) based on your preference or diving conditions.
Comfort: Easy to adjust for comfort, the system allows for a tighter or looser fit as needed.
Cons Of The SI-TECH Quick Change System
Initial Cost: The system can be an investment, as it’s more expensive upfront than traditional seals.
Compatibility: Not all drysuits are compatible with the system, so you might need to check with your manufacturer or consider it for your next suit purchase.
Installation: The first time you set it up, you might find it a bit challenging. However, once you’re used to it, it becomes straightforward.
Bulk: Some divers find that the rings add bulk and can slightly restrict movement, though this is often a minor adjustment.
Who Should Consider It?
The SI-TECH Quick Change System is ideal for divers who:
- Dive frequently and need a reliable solution for potential seal damage.
- Enjoy the convenience and independence of handling their own equipment maintenance.
- Are looking for long-term savings by reducing professional repair costs.
