SANTI DrySuits, Undersuits & Accessories

TOMEK STACHURA, THE FOUNDER OF SANTI DRYSUITS, HAS OVER 30 YEARS OF DIVING EXPERIENCE.

In the 1980s, diving equipment in Poland was difficult to come by. Tomek, passionate about diving, began his journey by crafting drysuit prototypes from limited materials like neoprene scraps and even cotton bed sheets. This hands-on experimentation led him to design his first drysuit, which quickly became the best among his diving friends.

UNSATISFACTORY EQUIPMENT LED TO INNOVATION.

Despite his love for diving, Tomek found that existing drysuits and undersuits didn’t meet his needs. The gear was uncomfortable, often too cold, and didn’t allow full mobility. Leveraging his experience running an apparel company, he set out to design the ideal undersuit. In 2001, the BZ400 SANTI undersuit was created, combining warmth and flexibility for divers.

SANTI DRYSUITS: DEVELOPMENT AND SUCCESS

By 2004, the SANTI team began working on their first drysuit, focusing on safety, durability, and comfort. Using feedback from Polish and European divers, the team perfected the designs, ensuring that divers stayed dry while enjoying maximum flexibility. This diver-first approach, combined with meticulous craftsmanship, quickly set SANTI apart from competitors.

THE DIVER-MANUFACTURER APPROACH PAVED THE WAY.

Tomek’s philosophy as a “diver first, businessman second” allowed SANTI to succeed through continuous interaction with the diving community. By 2009, with the help of his business partner Jakub Szelągowski, SANTI evolved from a small producer to a leading brand in the diving industry.

Today, SANTI Drysuits are globally recognised for their quality, and the company offers Custom SANTI Drysuits, tailor-made to meet each diver’s unique requirements.
