Diving Hoods
You have your exposure suit, your warming undersuit, your dive gloves and boots, but have you invested in a diving hood yet? On average, from 20 to 40% of a diver’s body heat escapes through their head, which is why wearing a diving hood is essential for staying warm as you explore the world beneath the water’s surface.
Designed in a range of thickness levels, styles and materials, dive hoods are essentially detachable head coverings that offer underwater thermal insulation for your head and neck. Yet, apart from being a great way to stay warm, a dive hood also helps to keep long hair off your face, leaving you to enjoy your dive safely and comfortably.
Our range of products is sourced from well-renowned brands like Aqualung and Waterproof. Browse our full selection online or in store, and pick the best dive hood to fit your tastes and needs.

The body reacts to cold and heat by adjusting the blood stream to different parts of the body, like hands, fingers and feet. But the body can not adjust the blood stream to your head. This to ensure the brains function during all conditions. That is why the colder it gets, the more heat you loose from the head by radiation, or even worse, by conduction in the water. You keep warmer with an effective hood. -
