Abstract
An underwater drysuit has a zipper along the front of the drysuit. The zipper extends from one shoulder to the other and to the back side of the drysuit. The zipper has a middle section at chest level. The middle section is curved downward to form an upwardly facing extended U-shape. The ends of the zipper form reverse bends beneath the front of the shoulders. The reverse bends continue on a downward turn to the sides of each arm. The ends of the zipper terminate about midway between the shoulder and the elbow on the side of the arms.
