Post dive I use a Kinetics HangAir hanger and dry the suit upright with the hangers built in fan. I’ll also drop in a silica-gel sock into each boot to really dry out the boots so that they don’t get mouldy like in a lot of drysuits I repair 🤮. I’ll store the suits upside down with zippers open.

Thanks for sharing @hbzeke. Adding the silica-gel sock is a great idea as well. We will be making a video in the near future talking about how we dry boots and such when they get wet. Stay tuned.

The dry suit boot hanger (travel hanger) that you showed has notches on the top and side. This allows you to run a single string with loops to hold the wrist of the dry suit up off the ground. Draining everything through the neck.

Hello @269Ski, thanks for sharing. That is a great idea, and one that I will definitely be trying out. Thanks for the tip.

You do a funny video of you filling the suit with as much air as possible and having fun. On the surface obviously lol

I dive a Fusion Bullet. Right side up on a power air circulation shoulder hanger. The blower times out after 8 hours. My gloves are also removeable ( SI Tech oval). Works for me

Thanks for sharing @agonizomai241. One of our Instructors has the same suit, and does the same method as well.

Right side up because I don't have integrated boots. I have rock boots. If I need to have it quickly dry I will put it inside out. Otherwise just normal, it takes longer to dy but works fine.

Thanks for sharing @NicolasP1973. Separate boots definitely do not give you much option. What specific hanger do you use in case anyone else does the same.

Thanks for sharing @markhammer6971. We are assuming your suit has built in boots.

I fashioned a short "double ended guilotine" rope. I "hang each boot then toss the rope over a high bar to hang. I never hang upright as I have never had a dry dive, and I really need to get all the water out. Sad but true.

I agree with you @busybeav, every dry suit I have ever owned has leaked at some point in time.

Thanks for sharing @davemarksman2205. I do the same thing, but I use paracord when I am camping on a dive trip and I take my dry suit. It's quick and very effective.

Hello @stevenwood1468, one of our Instructors uses the Aqua Lung Fusion, and he uses a hanger that has a built in fan. I believe the one he uses is from UK products.
