Divetek Hoodie

Divetek Hoodie

The Divetek Hoodie is under the Hoodies and Vests category and is available at our Dive Shop. For more info on this item of Dive Gear, please see below:

• 3mm Neoprene Hoodie designed to keep your head warm in colder waters
• Open cell neoprene material around the face creates a good seal around the face, helping to prevent water from escaping
• Rubberised neoprene on the neck skirt helps to create a good seal around the neck and prevent the hood from coming out of the wetsuit when you turn your head.

Hoodies and Vests:

 50% of the heat lost on a dive is from your head. One of the best ways to increase your comfort and warmth on a dive is to add a hoodie.

It would be great if a 10mm wetsuit did not give you the buoyancy characteristics of Helium Balloon. 
But alas, unless you wish to dive with 14 weights, a 10mm wetsuit is just not a decent option.
The alternative is to add extra warmth to the core by adding vests and or hoodies.
Most vests are a 3mm neoprene and can go both under a wetsuit or on top of the wetsuit adding an additional layer of warmth for the diver over the core.

Don’t forget that if you add neoprene to your diving configuration, you will need to add some extra weights.
