Hafa Adai from Guam --- I need help in finding a warm water dry/exposure suit for diving in polluted waters, ie sewage outfalls. Suits need to be able to be decontaiminated (10% bleach??) for reuse. We maybe do this dive once or twice a year. Also need help in a full face mask for suit. Thanks in advance!

Viking is the brand that most of those divers use.
Drysuit, viking or other vulcanized rubber. Dry hood, dry gloves. AGA masks are the typical choice.
Contact one of the EPA dive teams, they dive in contaminated waters all the time.

They can help set you up. Also contact the OSHA equivelant on Guam, they may have specific requirements.

The acceptable system for polluted water diving is a Viking dry suit with a Superlight neck dam and a Superlight helmet with the polluted water exhaust wiskers.Guamjesse:

Are these dives for pleasure or work?

if hes doing it 2 time a years sound like work there are more than viking whites shell works well as well but i would do the light weight helmet as well with a seal or a fill rubber head seal with a full face mask it seals on the rubber you only cut out eys and mouth leave the rest to seal on full face makse this is the cheapest if price is not an issue the viking with full helmet
