Product Description

Don’t you wish you could leave the water, with warm, dry hands? 
After all, warm hands are safe hands; useful hands. 

We don't do 'jingles' but - if we did, we'd sing.......

Now, Hands near the Fishes CAN feel warm and in place, in Wild, Green, Salty liquid! 

XEROTECH® Gloves have protected divers and sailors from the elements, in and under water, for more than twenty years. Their patent design protects against the effects of ‘squeeze’ when diving, so that you stay dry and comfortable – even in sub-freezing water temperatures. 

NATO’s Arctic task force uses XEROTECH® Gloves; for diving, swimming and snow exercises; reporting satisfactory results even in wind chill down to minus eighty degrees. Our gloves are used by the R.N., Police Divers, the Environment Agency, by the Borders Agency and by almost all of the tall ships sailing crews, around the World. They have been designed by professionals for use by professionals. 

Offering cut, puncture, chemical and abrasion resistance to EU standards, our gloves are tactile, too. You can use your underwater slate, handle the boat’s navigation kit and radio easily, all with your gloved hand. 

You’ll need to check whether this size fits you, so: measure your extended hand span, in inches. If the distance between the tip of your thumb and the tip of your fifth finger measures more than 71/2 inches but less than 81/2 inches, this size is yours

The Hidden Ocean, Arctic 2005: Experience Under-Ice Diving (00:30)
Experience what it is like to be an Ice diver studying the density of creatures living on the underside of ice floes.While much of under-ice diving is similar to regular diving, there are a few important differences. First, the divers wear drysuits instead of wetsuits. These dry suits are sealed at the wrist and the neck and don't let any water in beyond the seals. Second, under-ice diving is usually performed using compressed air, not other mixed gases and the regulators used are specifically designed to be used in temperatures below freezing. Most different from regular diving operations, under-ice divers are tethered to the surface. Video footage courtesy of Shawn Harper, The Hidden Ocean, Arctic 2005 Exploration, NOAA-OE.
