Get into diving with Hammond
In 2019 Hammond Drysuits will be celebrating 40 years of keeping customers warm and dry with their range of Made-to-Measure scuba diving drysuits. They are a company with experience in the diving world, and they understand scuba diving can be expensive, especially when you are starting out. For this reason, they have created a ‘starter kit’ which will be available to order at the Dive Show 2018 on stand 460 at the NEC on 27/28 October.
Included in the starter pack, is an HDS 140 Made-to-Measure Diving Drysuit with the new XL changing mat bag, Apex inflation hose, CoreTek undersuit (top, leggings and socks), Fourth Element 3mm hood and a pair of Ionic 4mm Kevlar gloves. This also comes with a Hammond Hoodie. This complete starter kit is a great package and can be yours for £790, giving you incredible savings.
The HDS Diving Drysuit from Hammond is ideal for beginners, it’s made from a N140 trilaminate fabric, and comes with a free changing mat. All seams are single stitched, and hand taped for a longer lasting watertight seam. The suit is Made-to-Measure for maximum comfort.
“We have customers that send us their drysuits to repair, some of those suits we made 25 years ago! A drysuit is an investment, and one we are proud to make for our customers. We hope this starter package will help those new to diving be able to experience the comfort and fit of our Made-to-Measure,” comments Chris Hammond Managing Director of Hammond Drysuits.
On the stand will be our complete range of drysuits starting from the HDS, designed for those just beginners, through to our HDS CP Pro and our HDS Pro-Elite for the more experienced. We also have the HDS Lite, which is a lighter suit, ideal for those wish to keep luggage weight to a minimum.

Introducing the SP Neoprene Suit from DYNAMICNORD
Maximum freedom of movement and outstanding comfort
The SP series neoprene suits deliver incredible diving comfort to even the most demanding divers. Fabulous style included. Designed and engineered in Germany.
The smart 3D cut and the pre-shaped arms and legs not only ensure flexibility and a perfect fit, but also help you slip into the suit with ease. Cuffs on the arms and legs guarantee perfect sealing, which is further enhanced by the flap on the back zipper.
Zippers at the wrists and ankles provide additional comfort and ensure easy donning and doffing. The small neck zipper adds another layer of comfort.
The neoprene ribs in the back of the knees and crook of the arms are unique. The clever concept ensures optimum comfort when bending the arms or legs.
Shoulder and knee protectors protect the suit in high-wear areas. The small computer safety strap holds the device in place. The SP suit series is available for men and women in 5 & 7mm and offers a wide range of sizes including numerous intermediate sizes.
Every day, DYNAMICNORD works to keep its environmental impact as low as possible. Only the best available neoprene is used for the SP series of neoprene suits. It goes without saying that the neoprene is made from limestone. It is sourced from nature and has less negative impact on the environment. Furthermore, Carbon Black, one of the main components of neoprene, is pyrolysed from used tires. This reduces energy consumption and cuts CO₂ emissions by 200 grams per neoprene suit. Innovative dyeing machines reduce water and energy consumption during production by 60%.
DYNAMICNORD’s R&D department is constantly testing recycled materials and other next-generation sustainable components to become even more eco-friendly in all areas.
The different models in the SP series are now available from DYNAMICNORD dealers and in the online store.

SP suit 7mm: £504.00
