Where are the watertight seals on a dry suit located?

• A. Neck, wrists, and ankles.
• B. Chest, back, and waist.
• C. Elbows, knees, and shoulders.
• D. Soles, heels, and toes.

Answer: (A)

Dry suit watertight seals are placed at the openings most likely to admit water as you move—the neck, wrists, and ankles. These flexible gaskets keep water from entering the suit while you swim or work, and they’re designed to fit snugly around the skin to maintain a dry interior.

This is the best choice because those locations are the actual seal points that must stay watertight to keep the suit dry. Areas like elbows, knees, and shoulders are joints and fabric panels, not sealed openings. The chest, back, waist regions aren’t sealed adaptively, and the feet aren’t sealed at the toes—the ankle area is the intended seal with the boot or footwear.
