SANTI E.MOTION LADIES FIRST - No compromise in comfort or flexibility
As the name suggests, Santi E.Motion Ladies First Drysuit is about mobility and flexibility without compromise. The suit is light and soft but, at the same time, very durable and flexible, which is exactly what a diver needs.
The E.Motion Ladies First drysuit initiated Santi product line dedicated especially to women. Beautiful colours match the feminine style and cut. It provides an elegant look on the surface as well. Colour details are available in lime, grey or fuchsia.
E.Motion balances fabric durability and lightweight features, making it a perfect travel drysuit. It is easy to dry and clean, fold and store between the dives; thanks to that, it fulfils the highest expectations of all recreational and technical divers who appreciate simplicity and quality.
Like any Santi drysuits, E.Motion Ladies First has two big, solid cargo pockets with bungee strings to mount the equipment. The right pocket has a useful additional zipper fastened pocket for double ender. To make the pocket look better on ladies, Santi has made them slightly smaller than in standard unisex drysuits.
Special Kevlar knee pads protect knees. A special cut of the crotch pad allows for better leg movements.
The Santi E-Motion suit is equipped with a TIZIP Masterseal zipper. TIZIP is very durable but also light and flexible, and it is highly resistant to dirt and needs only minimal care in the docking area.
This front entry ‘membrane’ drysuit is made of lightweight Ripstop Nylon/Butylene fabric (235 g/m2) especially designed for Santi to achieve the best possible stretch whether underwater or on the surface.
A lot is achieved thanks to the lightweight Ripstop nylon fabric especially designed for Santi to achieve the best possible flexibility and essential durability.

Santi Smart Seal System
Santi drysuits come as a standard with an innovative and comfortable Santi Smart Seals® System. Soft rings allow fast and easy seal exchange for any seal you like or have at hand without needing special tools.
The Smart Seals system replaces the standard wrist seals attachment in drysuit cuffs and works with any type of wrist seals available on the market – latex or silicone. There is no need for specially designed or dedicated seals, meaning you can carry spares and change a torn seal in the field.
The Smart Seals System also gives the possibility of adding dry gloves using Santi Smart Gloves Ring System (purchase separately).
Santi Neoprene Hood
The suit comes with Santi's Neoprene Hood with an innovative cut made from a very flexible neoprene. The outer shell is covered with jersey, while the inner coating is “smooth skin” type. These 6mm and 8mm hoods adapt perfectly to the shape of the head and are easy to put on and take off, even when wet.
FREE "Made to Fit" service
Very few divers require a totally made-to-measure suit due to the wide range of standard sizes available from Santi Diving. With this in mind, Santi offers a free-of-charge Made-to-Fit service to any standard Santi suits ordered, sculpting standard suits to a divers' measurements.
With your suit order, you can request up to 4 changes (ranging from 2 to 5 cm) to any of the standard size measurements listed under the chest, inner arm, biceps, forearm, waist, hips, inner leg, thigh, calf or body trunk on the Santi size chart.
If you would require more than 4 changes to make your suit perfect, you can add two more changes for a small additional charge.
Which Santi drysuit is best for me?
Deciding which Santi Drysuit would be best for you and what the differences are can be confusing. To help you, we have prepared SANTI DRYSUITS COMPARED 2023. Hopefully, this will help, but please CONTACT us if you have any question
How long does it take to get my suit?
We will place your suit order with Santi as soon as you have confirmed and are happy with all the details. We will go through this process as quickly as possible so the suit can be ordered without any delays on our part.
All Santi drysuits are made to order, and therefore estimated production times vary slightly depending on how busy Santi is or if the production period falls within their holiday times.
Santi estimates a 7 to 9 weeks production time for standard-size suits, with or without modifications. The production time is a couple of weeks longer for a completely made-to-measure suit.
Suits must then be checked, shipped from Poland and cleared through customs. This usually takes 1 to 2 weeks.
Unfortunately, due to the fluctuation in demand, neither we nor Santi can guarantee suits within a specific period.
Once we have your suit and we check it, we will email you to make sure you are not away and take receive delivery.

HOW TO MEASURE YOURSELF FOR SANTI SUITS
Carefully watch SANTI's Instructions for Measuring video below. The video shows all measurements for made to measure suits. For standard size or Made-to-Fit measurements please use the Size Chart.
STEP-BY-STEP
Never take your own measurements yourself! Measurements should be taken by another person to make sure all measurements are taken tight up to the body and at correct placement for a specific measurement.
It is important that you stand straight, look forward and do not bend over while you are being measured. It is equally important to take the measurements only while wearing thin clothing, close to the body. Don’t leave any additional measurement allowance.
CHEST - on the widest point.
INNER ARM - from armpit to wrist.
BICEPS - widest point on the loose arm. If you have a visibly athletic figure it is advised to measure the biceps also with bent elbow.
FOREARM - in the widest point.
WAIST - measure on the belly button level. Remember to measure the waist line in the widest point on the belly button line. To measure a female waistline correctly, use any kind of "marker belt" and fasten it around the waist line.
HIPS - in the fullest point of the buttocks.
INNER LEG - hold one end of the measurement tape in the crotch and measure to the heel end.
THIGH - widest point approximately 5cm from the crotch area.
CALF - measure the calf at the widest point.
BODY TRUNK - hold one end of the tape on the central point of the neck end and lead the tape across the crotch to the back. Mark the place where tape ends and measure the rest of the line to the spine neck bone. Make sure the tape is close to the body including all the curves.
