At Diving Sports Canada in Vancouver, we understand that the right undergarments are essential for maximizing the warmth and comfort of your drysuit diving experience. A drysuit alone can keep water out, but it's the undergarments that truly provide the crucial insulation to keep you comfortably warm, much like custard complements apple crumble.

Gone are the days of bulky and inflexible "woolly bear" undergarments. Today, modern undergarments are crafted from innovative materials that offer low buoyancy, are machine washable, and provide excellent stretch for freedom of movement. These advancements ensure that your diving apparel not only keeps you warm but also enhances your diving performance.

At Diving Sports Canada, we boast an extensive selection of undergarments suited for every diver's needs. Whether you prefer lightweight layers for warmer waters or substantial insulation for colder dives, we have the perfect undergarments to complement your drysuit. Our range includes options from leading brands renowned for their quality and durability.

Base Layers

Base layers are the foundation of your diving attire, snugly fitting to wick moisture away from your skin, keeping you dry and insulated. They play a crucial role in maintaining warmth by preventing heat loss from damp skin. Innovative products like the Fourth Element J2 Baselayer Set offer odor resistance and anti-fungal properties, ideal for colder waters where they are worn underneath undersuits for added insulation.

Undersuits (the thermal bit)

Your choice of undersuit is pivotal in regulating body temperature during dives. Typically crafted from fleece materials, undersuits create insulating air layers that trap body heat, crucial for colder water environments. The selection of a one-piece or two-piece undersuit depends on factors such as the type of drysuit, water temperature, and dive duration. Products like the Halo AR feature strategic padding in core areas to prevent heat loss, trusted by many scuba divers in Canada. For durability, heavy-duty classics such as the ScubaForce undergarment offer thick fiber fills akin to a sleeping bag.

Heated Vests and Undersuits

For enhanced warmth on chilly dives, heated undervests and accessories provide an extra layer of protection for your core and extremities. Widely embraced in the technical diving community, these items feature advanced functionalities such as wireless temperature controls and long-lasting rechargeable batteries. Once considered a luxury, products like the Thermalution Yellow Grade Plus Heated Undervest and Full Set Stand-Alone Heated Gloves are now indispensable in everyday diving, ensuring comfort and extended dive times. Brands like Santi offer a range of heated vests, gloves, and undersuits known for elevating diving experiences with their innovative technology.
