Younger divers will be equipped with the Rebel vest, designed especially for them. For your comfort, all our stabilization vests are equipped with a removable ballast pocket.
The Definition 5 mm suits, in men’s or women’s cut, will give you comfort, flexibility, a perfect fit and more elasticity in the most stressed areas. Its inner lining reflects body heat for added thermal insulation. They are assembled with solvent-free glue using a 100% green process. For those who are a bit chilly, we have hoods and gloves available.
The SeaWing Nova, a fin model that is worn with booties that will be provided, combines the power, propulsion and maneuverability of a classic fin with the comfort, efficiency and effortless thrust of an articulated fin. The SeaWing Nova fin represents the ultimate in comfort and efficiency.
