Abstract

The present research focuses on the use of sea suits in the coastal habitat of Tongoy. Activities related to the sea require the use of garments that are waterproof enough for outdoor activities and maintain adequate body temperature during underwater activities. In this context, three types of suits are distinguished: waterproof, dry and wet. The methodology used is predominantly ethnographic, based on participant observation and prolonged conversations with divers with extensive experience at sea, seeking to obtain detailed information about the materiality and use of sea suits. Ultimately, the aim is to deepen knowledge about sea suits, providing valuable knowledge about their use and functionality in sea-related activities in this area.
