Wearing gloves
will give your hands thermal protection from the cold,
along with protection from coral and other sharp
objects. Gloves come in a variety of thickness’
and materials. Warm water scuba divers and snorkelers use thin
cloth gloves to protect their hands from the
environment, while colder water divers choose to wear
thick neoprene to compensate for the cold. Gloves also
have various materials that cover the palm to enhance
durability. The most popular gloves also have Velcro
closures on the wrist to allow easy entry, yet allowing
the scuba diver to close the wrist to minimize water movement. |
