Dive into Comfort and Safety with Our Spearfishing Wetsuits

At Diving Sports Canada, we pride ourselves on offering the best and largest selection of spearfishing wetsuits. Ensure your safety and comfort while spearfishing with our range of specialized wetsuits, designed for both protection and flexibility.

Professional Wetsuits for Optimal Underwater Comfort

Spearfishing requires various essential gear, with the wetsuit being the most critical. Divers, snorkelers, and spearfishers wear wetsuits to allow water to make contact with their skin while maintaining body heat. Today, watersports enthusiasts can choose from a wide array of wetsuits based on water temperature and activity type.

Typically made from neoprene, a material known for its spongy texture and numerous air bubbles, wetsuits are almost entirely waterproof except at the neck, ankle, and wrist seals. These air bubbles trap body heat, warming the water between the skin and the suit.

When selecting a spearfishing wetsuit, consider the suit's thickness. In warm climates, a 1.5mm or thinner wetsuit is usually sufficient, whereas colder waters and deeper dives require thicker wetsuits as 5mm or 7mm. For shallow or brief dives, rash guards may be adequate.

Additionally, the wetsuit's color or print is important. A camouflage print or a color that helps you blend with your surroundings is ideal for a full-body wetsuit. Look for suits with chest padding (loading pads) to reduce the pressure from reloading your speargun. Warm, flexible gloves that allow easy movement and grip are also recommended.

What is an Open Cell Spearfishing Wetsuit?

An open cell spearfishing wetsuit is made from neoprene, a synthetic rubber material that provides excellent insulation. Unlike traditional wetsuits that have a smooth lining on the inside, open cell wetsuits feature neoprene that has been sliced to expose the cells. This design allows the wetsuit to cling more closely to the skin, minimizing the amount of water that can enter between the suit and the body.

Advantages of Open Cell Spearfishing Wetsuits

  • Superior Insulation: The open cell structure forms a tight seal against the skin, reducing water flow and retaining body heat more effectively than closed cell or lined wetsuits. This makes open cell wetsuits ideal for colder water conditions.

  • Enhanced Flexibility: Open cell neoprene is generally more flexible and comfortable, providing greater freedom of movement. This is especially important for spearfishers who need to maneuver efficiently underwater.

  • Better Fit: The close contact of the open cell material to the skin offers a custom-like fit, enhancing comfort and reducing drag in the water.

  • Less Buoyancy: Open cell wetsuits tend to have less inherent buoyancy compared to other types, making it easier for divers to achieve neutral buoyancy and stay submerged without using additional weights.

  • Increased Durability: Although open cell wetsuits can be more delicate on the inside and require careful handling, their snug fit reduces the amount of wear and tear caused by water movement inside the suit, potentially extending its lifespan.
