Watersport & Scuba Dive Hoods
7mm Cold-Water Hoods, Vented Drysuit Hoods & 3mm/5mm Thermal Liners | Vancouver, BC
Because the human head loses heat rapidly underwater, a high-quality neoprene hood is vital for maintaining core thermal balance. Whether navigating cold Pacific waters or seeking extra comfort in temperate seas, International Diving Centre carries high-stretch, vented dive hoods from BARE, Fourth Element, Waterproof, and Scubapro.
