Why should I wear diving gloves?
Diving Gloves can act as a barrier to guard your hands from tough and coarse surfaces such as rocks, wrecks and reefs. Additionally, they can provide thermal protection when you dive, keeping your hands warm and avoiding numbing, which can make it hard for you to use your equipment properly.
Many reef and dive operators argue that scuba divers should not wear gloves as not to entice them to touch the reef and damage it.
However, scuba diving gloves should be regarded as personal protective equipment. Accidentally touching coral, on the reef or on an ascent or descent line, or having to hang onto the reef for dear life in dangerous current may happen to any scuba diver. It can inflict dangerous, highly infectious stings and lacerations. Deadly jellyfish may be touched accidentally, and many more dangerous marine animals might come across even when your are just swimming along.
Quality dive gloves protect hands from ripping on rocks, sharp edges and allow you to grip in rough conditions where your hands may otherwise slip.
Dive gloves are ideal to keep your hands safe and warm!
