Diving

Dry suits for diving: The Oceania Gloves for deep diving can only be used in "wet mode". The use of talcum powder is essential to avoid stressing the gloves. Unlike latex, silicone and neoprene cuffs, the silicone of the Oceania Gloves and Soft Cuffs is much softer so it must be protected from abrasive parts. We remind you that the talcum powder only lasts a couple of wears because the "grease" that we have on the skin inhibits the function of the talcum powder. Then the silicone must be cleaned. Avoid trying and trying the gloves again and do not lend them to anyone who has not seen this tutorial. Installation is very simple. They must be worn over the cuffs of the wetsuit. Installation on "bottleneck" latex cuffs is very easy. The cuff of the glove must be installed without creases on the cuff of the wetsuit. For conical cuffs (silicone and latex) and neoprene cuffs we recommend using our Soft Cuffs to create a better fit of the gloves. Water must not enter through the wrists. As the depth of the dive increases and the water pressure increases, the nitrile or latex coated fiber does not "hold up" to the increase in water pressure. A small amount of water enters the gloves. As the water pressure increases, the gloves stick to the hand and if you feel too much compression you need to let a little water in by lifting the cuff and moving the wrists a lot. Undergloves are almost mandatory for colder dives. If you have big fingers, the Six2 underglove is recommended, otherwise the Flexitog. The recommended models are the Leopard Shark Plus and Red Fish Plus. The neoprene lining increases the thermal performance of the gloves and protects the glove from wear in the areas near the tape. The Leopard Shark Plus model will be on sale from June 2025.
