DIVING

Drysuit: Oceania Gloves can only be used in "wet mode." The use of talcum powder is strongly recommended when starting out. Installing them over the cuffs of a drysuit is simple. The glove cuff should fit seamlessly over the wetsuit cuff. Water should not enter through the wrists. The use of an "anti-splash" glove is recommended because, during the initial phases in the water and while checking your equipment, the cuffs can lose their grip, allowing water to enter. As the dive depth and water pressure increase, the nitrile or latex-coated fibers become unable to withstand the increased water pressure. A small amount of water will penetrate the gloves. As the water pressure increases, the gloves will stick to your hand, and if you feel too much compression, you will need to let some water in by lifting the cuff and moving your wrists a lot. Undergloves are almost mandatory for colder dives. The underglove is the Six2. The neoprene lining increases the gloves' thermal performance and protects them from wear in the areas near the straps. Both models can be used for diving, but the recommended version is the OCEANIA GLOVES SHORT because it is easier to install and creates a perfect fit.

Recommended models:
LEOPARD SHARK PLUS SHORT, RED FISH PLUS SHORT, ORCA PLUS SHORT or LEOPARD SHAR PLUS, RED FISH PLUS.

The Oceania gloves are not a thermal alternative to dry gloves, but with correct installation and the use of the SIX2 underglove or the Flexitog, they offer good thermal performance down to 10 degrees Celsius.
