Waterproof — Swedish Polar Expedition Diving, Made Wearable
Waterproof is a Swedish dive equipment brand built on an unusual foundation: two brothers who grew up by the sea on the Swedish west coast, and who built a company around the specific demands their own extreme diving placed on gear. Björn Ehlmé leads the company as CEO. Göran Ehlmé leads R&D — and Göran is not a desk engineer. He's a celebrated divemaster, an extreme cold-water diver, the first person to lead diving expeditions to the polar regions, and an underwater photographer whose work has appeared in BBC and National Geographic productions. The equipment Waterproof builds has been tested in those polar expeditions by the person responsible for designing it. That's a different kind of quality assurance.
The result is a lineup defined by two things: the D-series drysuits, built around patented innovations like the FLEXLOCK wrist seal system and NYLOTECH Tri-Lam material; and the W-series wetsuits, using Neoflex 100% CR neoprene for exceptional four-way stretch and warmth. At DiveCatalog.com, we carry the full current Waterproof lineup as an authorized dealer.
The Waterproof Product Range
Drysuits
The D7 Evolution features the patented FLEXLOCK wrist seal system — a slim, soft, interchangeable silicone seal integrated in lightweight transparent TPU with a visual confirmation window for secure mounting verification. NYLOTECH Tri-Lam material is softer, more flexible, and stronger than previous generations. The SI-TECH Quick Neck System with Waterproof Silicone Neck Seal makes donning and seal changes fast and straightforward. The D7X Nylotech uses single-stitched and single-taped construction with anatomical sculpting for a slimmer fit and maximum mobility, with the QCS ring system optimized for Ultima dry gloves and a Warmneck feature that reduces water movement around the neck.

Wetsuits
The W7 uses Neoflex 100% CR neoprene for exceptional four-way stretch in a 5mm back-zip fullsuit. The W8 steps up to 7mm with front-zip entry, WaterDam technology, a Double Zipper Seal System for warmth retention, Duratex panels in high-wear areas, and Kevlar kneepads for surface kneeling protection. Both use ultra-soft construction for genuine all-day diving comfort.

Frequently Asked Questions — Waterproof
What is the FLEXLOCK wrist seal?
A patented Waterproof innovation on the D7 Evolution — a slim, soft, interchangeable silicone seal integrated into a lightweight transparent TPU system with a built-in visual confirmation window. It replaces the traditional glued-in latex wrist seal with something that's easier to change independently without sending the suit for service.
What is NYLOTECH Tri-Lam?
Waterproof's proprietary tri-laminate drysuit material, engineered to be softer, more flexible, and stronger than previous-generation trilaminate fabrics — with an abrasion resistance tested at 200,000 rubs using the Martindale method.
What is Neoflex neoprene in the W-series wetsuits?
100% CR (Chloroprene Rubber) neoprene with exceptional four-way stretch and softness — TUSA and other brands' similar materials confirm that CR neoprene delivers superior flexibility compared to standard neoprene formulations.
Is Göran Ehlmé genuinely the first person to lead polar diving expeditions?
Yes — Göran Ehlmé, Waterproof's Head of R&D, is documented as the first to lead diving expeditions to the polar regions, and his underwater photography work has appeared in BBC and National Geographic productions.
