Warm Water Gloves?

[Steve_C]

For cooler water I wear a pair of 3mm. I have 5 mm also but only for coldest quarry diving. Need fingers for camera. For warm water in summer NC or further south I have a pair of gloves with a heavy palm and that breath on top. Protection where you need it but enough to prevent stings all over.

My suggestion is to go to Harbor Freight and for $7.00 by a pair of their "Western Safety" gloves. I've had the same pair now for over five years and they are perfect for warm water diving. Remove the labeling and I would be hard pressed to distinguish them from the $30.00 plus "scuba" gloves. Losing gloves is very common. I'd much prefer losing a pair of $7.00 gloves.

If you really don't like the feel of gloves, i have used those white gloves with the blue palms you can get at Lowe's. I think you can buy 3 pair for $5. I have dove wrecks in NC with them, no issues.

I also have a pair of these. Great glove for the price

This is my go to for warm water dive gloves. Lightweight and dont take up much room in the suitcase.

I've used Oceanic Cyber-Skin gloves for sometime. Diving in Galapagos, impossible not to use gloves unless you want hands cut to ribbons. 1.5mm thick and made from very stretchy rubber, perfect for underwater photography as you can still feel controls easily. Here is new version. http://www.amazon.com/Ocean-Pro-5-F...r=8-1-fkmr1&keywords=cyberskin+oceanic+gloves

As has already been mentioned, many places prohibit diving with gloves, lest divers use them to grab onto the coral. I often keep a pair of reef gloves (or even just one) in a bc pocket in case I need them for a wreck dive or for hanging on an encrusted mooring line.

I use Mares 2mm amara gloves. Amara on the palm side protects against cuts while retaining dexterity, 2mm neoprene on back of the hand provides minimal thermal protection, and can protect against jellies or anything you might accidentally contact. I think all the amara gloves are made pretty much the same.

I used mechanic gloves. You can get them at a hardware store for about $10
