Diving gloves are an essential diving accessory in cold water, unlike the data glove shown above on the left. Diving gloves are usually made of wetsuit neoprene of 3 or 5 mm thickness. They usually come with a textured surface to prevent wear on the palms. Drysuit gloves are also available, these can however, present problems associated with glove squeeze. When selecting gloves for diving, consider the amount of dexterity and mobility you would like: thicker gloves restrict mobility.
