The original neutrally buoyant wetsuit system, Thermocline is lightweight, machine washable and equivalent to a 2mm neoprene wetsuit, without the wetsuit, making in perfect for those allergic to neoprene. Now, made using recycled ‘Ghost’ fishing nets, Thermocline is part of our OceanPositive collection.
Thermocline provides a solution for many people who suffer from neoprene allergies either by replacing the traditional wetsuit entirely or acting as a barrier, reducing contact between the skin and the wetsuit itself.*
Perfect for all surface water sports as well as warm water scuba, this is revolutionary thermal protection. Lightweight, neutrally buoyant, machine washable, breathable and hypo-allergenic, the Thermocline full suit combines our experience with high technology fabrics with our passion for life in, on and under the water, to produce a truly versatile lightweight wetsuit system. The fabric ensures that the wearer is more comfortable when out of the water, during surface sports, or when kitting up for a dive. The inner fleece layer draws moisture away from the skin and wicks through the breathable membrane where it evaporates off the nylon surface. In the water, the membrane traps a thin layer next to the skin and prevents colder water flowing over the body, perfect for surfers, freedivers and scuba divers.
Thermocline dries rapidly, often within an hour or between dives – a quick rinse and a squeeze to get rid of excess water before hanging it up inside out should ensure it is ready for your next adventure.
No more smelly neoprene suits – this wetsuit can be machine washed (we recommend using our SUB30 environmentally friendly washing liquid). Store it safely with other garments and when packing for vacation there’s no need to worry about potentially damaging the fabric – it can be squeezed into that last remaining space in your luggage without any worries.
*It is our experience that skin allergies to neoprene, whilst rare, are also not caused by a single compound and therefore it is difficult to be certain of preventing a problem. Thermocline has been used with a great deal of success by neoprene allergy sufferers, but it is important to consult with a doctor about any symptoms and possible alternatives.

The convenience of the zip-thru jacket is that it is easy to don and quick to remove. The breathable fabric ensures that it is comfortable whilst preparing to dive and the design allows great freedom of movement along with the ability to unzip a little to keep cool before the dive.

Now with front zip entry. An extremely comfortable and lightweight alternative to a neoprene wetsuit. The full suit weighs less than 1kg and is ideal for those travelling and keen to keep baggage to a minimum. It is the perfect tropical diving suit, but it is also ideal for surface watersports where the fast drying fabric comes into its own. It is fully machine washable so can easily be kept fresh and clean between trips and packing the suit is as simple and stress free as folding a t-shirt – there is no neoprene to be damaged by folding. For diving and freediving, the suit is neutrally buoyant, allowing less lead to be worn and it dries quickly, even during the surface interval.Screen reader support enabled.

This top can be worn on its own as a thermal top or with a pair of Thermocline shorts as a lightweight shortie. Alternatively, layer this underneath a neoprene wetsuit to increase thermal protection of the body core by the equivalent of an extra 2mm of neoprene, without affecting your buoyancy.
Designed to be worn under a wetsuit, this vest provides increased thermal protection of the body core by the equivalent of an extra 2mm of neoprene, whilst being neutrally buoyant and maintaining the freedom of movement of the arms. It will virtually eliminate the feeling of water coming in through the zip and will enhance thermal protection considerably. On its own, or worn with Thermocline shorts, the vest is perfect for core protection for summer paddling.
With the equivalent performance of 2mm neoprene, this is the perfect choice for an extra layer of core thermal protection under a wetsuit.

For other watersports, the leggings are the perfect way to keep warm without resorting to a neoprene wetsuit.
Designed to be worn under a wetsuit or on their own in warmer waters, the Thermocline shorts help to increase thermal protection to the body core. The shorts can also be worn with the short sleeved top to make a lightweight shortie wetsuit.

Worn under board shorts, the Thermocline shorts can provide that extra thermal protection allowing you to extend your season in the water with the freedom and comfort of shorts before moving to a full neoprene wetsuits. A high back means it won’t ride down when paddling or swimming.

Comfortable lining socks for full foot fins and neoprene boots. Constructed using flat lock stitching and fleece lined fabric, Finsocks minimize abrasion from full foot fins and allergy reaction to neoprene boots whilst eliminating the risk of sores or blisters from rubbing. Worn underneath neoprene boots, Finsocks help to keep the feet a little warmer and assist with the donning of a wetsuit by providing a low friction contact between the feet and the inside of the wetsuit. They are also ideal for children and young adults whose feet are still growing as they can help a pair of fins which are a little too large fit better and last longer.
