Dry suit Option - Increase the length of the LP Hose

Ref: SSOPTLONGLP

Price: £2.23 (Including VAT at 17.5%)

In most cases the standard 74cm Low Pressure hose is the ideal length. If you have a chest measurement over 130cm or with some twin sets a longer 89cm hose makes connecting to the inflation valve easier.

Dry suit option - Swap the Stardard Apeks nipple for a Seatec fitting

Ref: SSOPTINSEATEC703

Dry suit Option - Heavy Duty Latex Boots

Ref: SSNUOPTLABTSHD

Price: £4.99 (Including VAT at 17.5%)

Heavy duty latex boots offer even greater durability than standard latex. The addition of a heel makes them ideal for walking and ladder climbing, making them the first choice for Police and Rescue divers. They still require additional socks to compensate for the reduced insulation (see Thinsulate sox).
Sorry these boots are no longer availble in size 36, 38, 39, 43 and 44

Dry suit Option - Compressed Neoprene socks

Ref: SSNOPTCOMPSOX

An alternative to having boots attached to the suit, 3mm compressed neoprene socks can be bonded on. When diving a conventional pair of wetsuit boots or some form of "rock boots" are worn over the top. This system is warm and very much reduces the air that can become trapped around the feet. Care should be taken not to walk distances in these as there is a risk of them becoming punctured.
The have the additional advantage of enabling the suit to be completely turned inside out for easy drying and servicing.
There is no additional charge to swap to these socks.

Dry suit Option - Ankle weights for Nova suits

Ref: SSNOPTANKWTS

Price: £27.00 (Including VAT at 17.5%)

With 6 lead ingots per leg fine buoyancy trimming is possible and easy to achieve. There is an adjustment buckle to secure them in place on your ankle.
Comes complete with 1kg of lead (there is room to add a further 0.62kg)
opinions on the necessity of ankle weights are strongly held, but it is a fact that some divers when using many brands of fins feel much happier in the water when using them.
Although the pouches are permanently attached the weights can easily be removed.

Ref: SSNOPTRNBUM
