Dive Fashion: Stylish Apparel For Before And After The Dive

One that is sweeping the planet is the scuba fashion scene. It comes in all types of patterns and perfectly combines fashion and utility. After diving, these very warm clothes control your core temperature and help the skin to shed extra moisture. Once you remove the wetsuit, they can also assist in repelling any residual water from your body.

Longjohns

Long Johns are the ideal addition to your winter wardrobe if you're seeking for a cosy layer. But have you ever considered where these cosy underwear derived their name? The somewhat funny response to that query is found here. Though there are various tall stories on the beginnings of long Johns, the most well-known one centres on tough boxer John L. Sullivan. In gloved and bare-knuckle boxing, he was a champion; the narrative claims that his long underwear kept him warm while he boxed. "Union suits" is yet another substitute for the term "long Johns." Union suits and long Johns differ primarily in that long Johns are two-piece clothing (a shirt and pants) composed of flannel or wool with a square-weave waffle fabric that helps drain perspiration away from your body. Perfect stretch base layer bottoms for any cold-weather activity, Ron Dorff's men's long Johns are constructed of jersey cotton with a trace of elastane.

Undergraduates

Wearing an undersuit or base layer is a smart option when diving in cooler seas. Like sweat, the close-fitting clothing wick water away from the skin, therefore eliminating odour and providing outstanding thermal insulation. While raising comfort and efficiency, they also aid to avoid chafing and inflammation. Under any dry suit, undersuits in a variety of thicknesses offer insulation. Lucas Divestore carries several top-brand choices like Typhoon's all-in-one convenience and Fourth Element's Arctic undersuit, which is especially appropriate for use with close-fitting neoprene dry suits. Whether your preferred sport is swimming, surfing, or diving, a good experience depends critically on comfortable insulation and buoyancy control. In many respects, undersuits can make all the difference and enable you to maximise every dive. Lucas Divestore carries a range of thicknesses to fit any dry suit, so helping you to get the ideal fit for your requirements.

Dry suits

Since a dry suit serves as a barrier between your skin and the cold water, it's crucial it fits correctly. While a too small suit might restrict movement and make you feel choked, a too big dry suit can cause drag and impede air flow. Working with a dive centre can help you to guarantee that you have the correct size and kind of dry suit for your requirements. Because they can bend their insulating layer choice based on water temperature, many divers find great freedom in dry suits. For warm and cold water diving sites, dry suits are therefore perfect. Especially on a boat or on a beach, having swimmers briefs under your drysuit can help to prevent flashing others during changing. Under your wetsuit, you can also wear a rash guard to avoid irritation from the neoprene and other materials usually used in wetsuits.

Thermos

Many divers cover their skin against stinging coral and other marine life with rash guards or other tops. Additionally shielding your eyes from the strong underwater light, sunglasses and a cap help to keep the sun off your head and face. Good dive gloves and boots will keep your fingertips warm in the water and enable you to keep a strong hold on your scuba gear. Having these supplies ready is a good idea since many new divers discover their hands and feet a bit cold when they first get in the water. The best diving experience depends on a wetsuit, thermal mid-layer, and correct baselayer. Though they get wet, the textiles in these layers are made to remain insulating while drawing moisture away from the skin and offer a soft surface against it. With the development of their creative and robust Xerotherm suit, Fourth Element has brought to the realm of scuba diving a time-honoured principle.
