Dry Glove System and Sea Water

[Andre171]

Hello,

this is a maintenance question: After diving with a dry glove ring system (mine is from northern diver) in salty sea water it may be good to detach the hole system from the suit for cleaning, or rinse the hole suit with attached system on the seals?

Whats Your way and expierience?

Best Regards,
André

Frankly, my solution for kit rinsing is simple, do a freshwater dive.

I do the usual, rinse the kit down with a hose or soak in a bucket. Immediately, or as soon as is possible on returning from a trip to the coast.
Then, ideally, I do a freshwater dive the following weekend.

Initial cleaning, just a fresh water rinse. Maybe a hose on the dock. I have been known to put the drysuit on and take a shower when I get home. But the fresh water dive works the best.
