OUR SERVICES
Parts and services including installation and alterations services or drysuit parts supply only available for trades and DIY
Customisation
When your drysuit needs are specific, you need a suit and maintenance program that is tailored to you. Altalena extends outside of the catalogue scope to provide customised products and market-leading service. This includes minor adjustments and major work adapted to your applications whilst maintaining compliance with standards. Liaising closely with the manufacturer facilitates our ability to work with you to develop a customised prototype drysuit for professional testing in the field.
Consulting
You know the application and we know the vast variety of products. Together we can identify the best drysuit options. Altalena listens and helps you make informed decisions. Through an accumulated expertise in manufacturing techniques, material and component options, industry standards and use of drysuits, Altalena provides reliable advice and guidance to help you identify your product needs.
In addition, we share our technical knowledge and recommendations with manufacturers for continuous product improvement.
How do you want your drysuit to fit?
Finding clothes that fit easily in a store usually means a stock drysuit will fit. Those needing length adjustments can opt for a custom-fit or custom-fit wide drysuit. But those with specific fit needs may require a made-to-measure drysuit and even further alterations.
Choose from our stock of drysuits available for immediate delivery. In-house trained staff can measure a suit to size, and have a custom-fit ready within days or made-to-measure manufactured at the factory.
Add your desired seal and boot options, completed in-house then sent directly to you. We offer you our recommendations based on your intended application. Our service capabilities as an Australian & New Zealand distributor allow for phenomenal reductions in lead-time.
Should you be an experienced drysuit diver or a beginner, a sailor or a helicopter pilot we can measure you up for the perfect fit. You can also visit one of our trained dealers around Australia to get measured and get some recommendations whilst seeing a suit in person.

Poseidon Regulators & CCR Service
After the initial inspection we provide you with a detailed quote listing periodic service kit parts and any additional parts required. Upon quote approval the equipment is serviced.
During service we replace all damaged or worn parts with genuine parts according to the Poseidon Diving Systems service technician manual. We stock an extensive range of parts and receive regular shipments from Sweden.
Generally maintenance service on breathing systems should be performed about once every hundred dives or biennially (every two years), whichever comes first.
Drysuit Service
Altalena repairs all makes of drysuits and is an approved warranty facility for leading brands. We respond to tasks ranging from regular maintenance to critical repairs, and from annual checks of recreational equipment to regular inspection of survival suits with WHS-compliant certificates.
We offer tailored services and maintenance programs to enhance the value of your equipment. By providing a choice of servicing timeframes, you can choose the frequency and the right service specific to your needs.
Our technicians work thoroughly to repair every suit to restore their watertightness. This includes completely removing all old components and not just bonding the replacement over the old. Even if the suit has previously been repaired by someone else and old components are found under the existing, our technicians will also remove these.
We test all drysuits to the relevant EN or ISO standards in a controlled environment before washing and drying them either naturally or in our heated room.
Drysuit Modifications & Alterations
Upgrade glued-on seals to systems with user-replaceable neck and wrist seals, convert boots to socks, shorten and tailor drysuit length, change zipper, add a P-valve or P-zip. Using ultrasonic welding machines and industrial sewing machines, we have you covered. Alterations are done in-house using state-of-the-art equipment, machinery and materials with on-hand stock of parts.
Technician Training Courses
As the sole Australian distributor for Poseidon Diving Systems we are authorised by the manufacturer to run Poseidon Service Technician courses. Our courses cover Poseidon regulators, Full Face Mask, EBS and rebreathers. We also stock Poseidon purpose-built tools and we are a Hazet & PB Swiss Tools dealer.
