Abstract
The invention is directed to an apparatus that allows users to dry, wash, and store their wetsuits and wetsuit accessories. The apparatus includes a receptacle with an interior sized and shaped to hold a wetsuit and a user's accessories. The receptacle comprises a drain configured on one side to dispose of any accumulated water and debris. The interior of the receptacle includes joints that allow a collapsible rack to extend or retract as desired by the user. Thus, a user can wash a wetsuit in the device reservoir, then hang the wetsuit from the drying rack for complete drying. The rack can also be folded to store the wetsuit and any desired accessories (gloves, shoes, etc.) until they are needed.
