Abstract
An air inlet valve for an underwater diver's dry suit including a restricted opening in the air inlet coupling on the air inlet hose whereby the air inlet hose acts as a plenum chamber. A valve member is opened to pass the air in the inlet hose to the interior of the suit with a burst. Due to the restricted opening, air can be exhausted from the suit faster than it is introduced and thus avoiding a blow up in the suit, thereby bringing the diver to the surface causing a serious accident.
