VIKING™ DIVERS DRESS

The VIKING™ DIVERS DRESS is based on the VIKING™ HD, and is manufactured with a touch of nostalgia for those divers who continue to dive using traditional helmets, like the Siebe Gorman 12 bolt. Built to replace the old canvas coated rubber suits, in a style more suited to 21st century demands for diving in water which may be contaminated.

  • Internal stitched and taped seams
  • External vulcanised seams
  • Easy to clean exterior when contaminated
  • Easy to repair in the field to minimise downtime
  • Flexible and comfortable
  • Most popular rubber collars available
