Product Information
The SCUBAPRO NovaScotia Semi-Dry 7.5mm is a men's steamer-style semi-dry wetsuit with an integrated hood, built from 100% Everflex neoprene and rated by SCUBAPRO for water temperatures of 45 to 54°F (7 to 12°C). It sits between a traditional wetsuit and a neoprene drysuit, using a rear shoulder-to-shoulder YKK Aquaseal Vislon waterproof back zipper and double-zippered wrist and ankle seals to keep water movement to a minimum.
Who it is for
This suit is for the cold-water recreational diver, positioned between a traditional wetsuit and a neoprene drysuit. The 7.5mm construction (7.6/6.5mm) with an attached hood suits temperate and cold coastal diving, year-round local diving and longer bottom times in the 45 to 54°F range. Anti-abrasion patterns on the shoulders and kneecaps and an enhanced spine and lumbar pad for tank comfort also make it a sensible choice for divers who dive often from boats and shore.
Key details
- Material: 100% Everflex X-Foam neoprene, petroleum-free and limestone-based, assembled with a solvent-free glue process.
- Seams: glued and blind-stitched with internal stress discs.
- Seals: double-zippered ankles and wrists with KA brass sliders, plus a fold-under neck seal.
- Interior: plush lining in the arms, legs and shoulders.
- Storage and mounting: 3D thigh pocket with an external hood hook and I-Safe straps on both arms for instruments.
- Certification: CE certified Class A dive suit.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the NovaScotia a wetsuit or a drysuit?
It is a semi-dry suit, which SCUBAPRO positions between a traditional wetsuit and a neoprene drysuit. The 7.5mm Everflex neoprene, glued and blind-stitched seams, waterproof YKK Aquaseal Vislon back zipper and double-zippered wrist and ankle seals greatly reduce water exchange, but you will still take on a small amount of water that your body then warms. It is CE certified as a Class A dive suit.
What water temperatures is the NovaScotia 7.5mm rated for?
SCUBAPRO rates the NovaScotia Semi-Dry for water temperatures of 45 to 54°F (7 to 12°C). The 7.6/6.5mm Everflex neoprene, integrated hood and plush lining in the arms, legs and shoulders supply the insulation, while the waterproof back zip and double-zippered extremity seals limit flushing during the dive.
Does it come with the hood, and does it have a pocket?
Yes. The hood is integrated into the suit, so nothing separate is needed, and the suit ships as a steamer with the attached hood. For storage there is a 3D thigh pocket with an external hood hook on the outside, and both arms have I-Safe straps so you can mount instruments where they stay readable.
What sizes are available and how much does the suit weigh?
The NovaScotia Semi-Dry is offered in Black in S, M, MT, L, LS, LT, XL, XLS, XLT, 2XL, 2XLT, 3XL and 4XL, so short and tall builds are covered. Weight and length change with size: size M is listed at 7.38 lb and 57.5 in, while size 4XL is 9.09 lb and 64.3 in.
Review summary
Reviewers consistently say this suit keeps them warm in genuinely cold water, with divers reporting comfortable dives in 42 to 52 degree conditions and long hours in the water. Several note almost no flush at the neck, wrists, and ankles, and the build quality gets repeated praise. Fit runs on the snug and short side for some, so check the size chart carefully before ordering. It suits cold water divers who want serious warmth without moving to a drysuit.
