It seems like yesterday that I was proudly waving about a new pair of blue Seac Sub gloves. Something like 120 dives later, and they’re in quite bad shape… Some of the fingers have punched through, and the seams along the side of my wrist split recently. Boat diving off a rubber duck, towing a reel and camera work are quite hard on gloves, and there’s quite a high attrition rate in the Lindeque household.
Enter the new pair of Seac Sub gloves that Andre supplied me with in the middle of November. They’re 3.5 millimetres thick and seal at the wrist with a velcro strap. The seams around the two middle fingers ensure that flexing and dextrous work is comfortable (as comfortable as it can be in thick gloves!). I’ve tested them in the Atlantic and so far so good. I am rather fond of the Seac Sub brand, and my BCD is also theirs.
The old blue pair have been glued, and now live in the “glove box” for students to borrow.
