Searching for a drysuit that meets the demands of the most challenging dives? The Santi E.Lite Drysuit is built for extreme technical, cave, and wreck diving, offering unmatched durability and reinforced protection where it matters most.

At the core of the E.Lite’s resilience is its exclusive Ripstop Nylon fabric. Combined with an ergonomic Y-cut design and precision craftsmanship, this drysuit is ready to tackle the harshest underwater environments.

Key features include:

  • Long Front Entry Zipper: Waterproof and shielded by an additional zip-fastened flap for added security.
  • Kevlar® Knee Pads: Reinforced protection for the front leg area, ensuring durability in high-wear zones.
  • Spacious Cargo Pockets: Two large pockets with bungee strings for accessory attachment, plus an extra zippered pocket for convenience.

Crafted from a unique Ripstop Nylon/Butylen/Polyester material (535 g/m²), the E.Lite is both lightweight and exceptionally tough. The fabric’s flexible construction incorporates ripstop reinforcement threads in a crosshatch pattern, offering superior tear resistance without sacrificing mobility.

Whether you’re a seasoned technical diver, a cave explorer, or simply seeking the ultimate drysuit for your next adventure, the Santi E.Lite delivers unparalleled performance and protection.

Santi Smart Seal System

Santi drysuits come as a standard with an innovative and comfortable Santi Smart Seals® System. Soft rings allow fast and easy seal exchange for any seal you like or have at hand without needing special tools.

Smart Seals ManualThe Smart Seals system replaces the standard wrist seals attachment in drysuit cuffs and works with any type of wrist seals available on the market – latex or silicone. There is no need for specially designed or dedicated seals, meaning you can carry spares and change a torn seal in the field.

The Smart Seals System also gives the possibility of adding dry gloves using Santi Smart Gloves Ring System (purchase separately).

Santi Neoprene Hood

Every Santi drysuit includes a premium Neoprene Hood designed with an innovative, flexible cut for optimal comfort. Made from highly adaptable neoprene, the hood features a jersey-covered outer shell and a “smooth skin” inner coating. Available in 6mm and 8mm thicknesses, these hoods contour seamlessly to the head’s shape and remain easy to don and remove, even when wet.

FREE “Made to Fit” Service

Santi Diving’s wide range of standard sizes ensures that most divers can find a suit that fits. To enhance this, Santi offers a complimentary Made-to-Fit service for all standard drysuits, allowing for up to four size adjustments (2–5 cm) across measurements like chest, waist, biceps, hips, or body trunk.

If more than four modifications are needed for the perfect fit, you can opt for an additional two adjustments for a nominal fee.

How Long Does It Take to Get My Suit?

Your order will be processed promptly once all details are confirmed. Santi drysuits are custom-made, and production times vary depending on demand and seasonal schedules.

  • Standard-Size Suits (with or without adjustments): Estimated production time is 7 to 9 weeks.
  • Made-to-Measure Suits: Add an additional couple of weeks to the production time.

After production, suits undergo quality checks, shipping from Poland, and customs clearance, which takes approximately 1 to 2 weeks.

While every effort is made to minimize delays, neither we nor Santi can guarantee delivery within a fixed timeframe due to fluctuating demand. Once your suit is ready, we will email you to confirm delivery details and ensure a smooth receipt.

Measuring Guide

HOW TO MEASURE YOURSELF FOR SANTI SUITS

Carefully watch SANTI’s “Instructions for Self-measuring” video below. The video shows all measurements for Made-to-Measure suits.

STEP-BY-STEP

Download the Santi MADE TO MEASURE FORM. Use only a taylor’s tape measure that has a centimeter scale (only use metric with cm).

Never take your own measurements yourself! Measurements should be taken by another person to make sure all measurements are taken tight up to the body and at correct placement for a specific measurement.

It is important that you stand straight, look forward and do not bend over while you are being measured. It is equally important to take the measurements only while wearing thin clothing, close to the body. Don’t leave any additional measurement allowance.

HEAD – approximately 1cm above the eyebrows to choose the correct hood size.
NECK – above the t-shirt line, under the Adam’s apple and the end of the neck.
BODY TRUNK – hold one end of the tape on the central point of the neck end and lead the tape across the crotch to the back. Mark the place where tape ends and measure the rest of the line to the spine neck bone. Make sure the tape is close to the body including all the curves.
SHOULDER TO SHOULDER – back shoulders length from one top arm bone to another.
OUTER ARM LENGHT – from the back neck spine bone to the wrist while the arm is fully stretched.
INSIDE ARM LENGHT – from armpit to wrist.
LADIES ONLY / SIDE TRUNK LENGHT – from the armpit to the waist line.
BICEPS – widest point on the loose arm. If you have a visibly athletic figure it is advised to measure the biceps also with bent elbow.
FOREARM – in the widest point.
WRIST – between the palm and the wrist bone.
CHEST – first measure the chest in rest and then after breathing in air. Normally the difference should be around 3-5cm. For ladies measure in the fullest point of the bust, preferably while wearing a bra.
WAIST – measure on the belly button level. Remember to measure the waist line in the widest point on the belly button line. To measure a female waistline correctly, use any kind of “marker belt” and fasten it around the waist line.
LADIES ONLY / BACK HEIGHT – centrally from the neck spine bone to the waist line marked with the belt.
LADIES ONLY / CHEST HEIGHT – from the soft neck area (where the neck ends) to the bust line in the fullest point.
HIPS – in the fullest point of the buttocks.
THIGH – widest point approximately 5cm from the crotch area.
CROTCH TO KNEE – from crotch to knee.
CROTCH TO FLOOR – hold one end of the measurement tape in a convenient place in the crotch and measure to the heel end.
CALF 1 – measure the calf in the widest point.
CALF 2 – height from the widest point of the calf to the floor.
CALF 3 – measure the calf 20cm from the floor.
ANKLE – measure the ankle on the ankle bone.
FOOT – place the tape on the floor and step on it to measure from end of heal to end of toes.
