Benefits of technology

[0013] A still further object of the present invention is to provide for a novel wet suit valet which can be connected to a source of hot moistureless air which can circulate within the wet suit valet and ventilate from the wet suit valet to the inner surfaces and outer surfaces of the wet suit elements hung on the wet suit valet.

Problems solved by technology

Still further, the dampness of the wet suit through use, can also lead to the development of an odor associated therewith, caused by mold or bacteria.

None of these drying methods are truly effective in that they normally require an extended period of time to effect the drying.

Still further, when a diver or surfer utilizes his wet suit at a location proximate the surfer or diver's home, the surfer or diver can utilize the aforesaid drying methods, despite their ineffectiveness.
