On distingue deux types de combinaison : La combinaison mouillée ou «wet suit» est faite d’un caoutchouc mousse poreux. Une petite quantité d’eau peut y pénétrer, mais comme le vêtement est en contact avec la peau, l'air emprisonné dans les pores du caoutchouc conserve la chaleur du corps. La combinaison sèche ou «dry suit» est faite de Nylon ou de caoutchouc mousse laminé, étanche à l'eau. La combinaison en Nylon est ample, donc plus confortable. Cependant, elle doit être bien ajustée au cou, aux poignets et aux pieds pour empêcher toute infiltration d’eau. La moindre fissure laisse passer toute l'eau qui veut bien y entrer et le vêtement perd ses propriétés isolantes. 6, record 8, French, - combinaison%20isothermique

Evaporation pan [is] an open tank used to contain water for measuring the amount of evaporation. The U.S. Weather Bureau class A pan is 4 feet in diameter, 10 inches deep, set up on a timber grillage so that the top rim is about 16 inches from the ground.

Wet suits are used when diving in water temperatures over 20 degrees C (70 degrees F). A modern wetsuit is mostly made from thin neoprene, which provides limited thermal protection, and lined with a nylon fabric to make it easy to put on and take off. A wetsuit allows a small amount of water into the suit, but traps this thin layer of water between the skin and the neoprene, which body heat then warms up. The neoprene itself insulates the warm layer against the cold of the surrounding water. 5, record 13, English, - wet%20suit

Le principe de ce dernier [vêtement] était d’admettre une petite quantité d’eau qui se réchauffait au contact du corps, gardant en principe le plongeur dans une sorte de bain-marie. Le vêtement destiné au plongeur amateur est devenu du fait de son adhérence pratiquement «non étanche» et c’est ainsi que le vocabulaire américain a relégué aux oubliettes le terme «wet suit» ou «vêtement non étanche». 3, record 13, French, - combinaison%20humide

Si la plongée est en eau chaude et/ou de courte durée, le plongeur utilisera une combinaison dite «humide». Composée de néoprène variant de 1 mm à 7 mm, ces combinaisons sont peu chères, et pour peu qu’elles soient bien ajustées, isolent suffisamment le plongeur qui n’a pas à lutter contre le froid ou dont la décompression n’est pas trop longue. 8, record 13, French, - combinaison%20humide
