The ever-popular Tropic 1.5mm dive glove now features a new eye-pleasing material pattern and comes in colors that match Scubapro's new UPF Collection. Stylish looks aside, this updated tropical glove still features a 1.5mm neoprene back for comfort and warmth, plus an Amara palm to protect against infection-prone finger cuts when grasping barnacle-encrusted dive ladders in tropical waters. Reinforced fingertips and palm increase durability while ensuring a non-slip grip. Amara fabric layer on palm is resistant to punctures and remains soft when dry. Hook and loop wrist seal is adjustable to ensure a snug fit. All seams are sewn for strength and durability. Made from X-Foam, a limestone neoprene, petroleum-free, and compliant with strict PAH requirements. Scubapro was the first to offer this, better protecting divers and our oceans. Gloves are available in multiple sizes and colors.

1.5mm Neoprene Backing: Provides soft thermal insulation for warm-to-temperate waters while offering high flexibility and minimal hand fatigue.

Amara Synthetic Leather Palms: Outfitted with durable, soft-grain Amara fabric across the palms and undersides of the fingers to protect against cuts, scrapes, and abrasions without losing grip or tactile feel.

Reinforced Fingertip Caps: Extra layer of protective material wrapped over the fingertips to prevent premature wear when gripping dive ladders, mooring lines, or camera gear.

Adjustable Velcro Wrist Closure: Features a hook-and-loop wrist strap over an elastic cuff to ensure a snug seal, minimizing water exchange and preventing sand or debris from entering.

Ergonomic Pre-Curved Finger Design: Cut to match the natural resting curve of the hand, reducing finger strain during long dives.

Operational Tips & Pro Tricks

• Local Marine Protection Laws Check: Before packing gloves for a tropical dive trip, verify local marine park regulations. Certain marine reserves (such as Cozumel and Marine Parks in Australia or the Caribbean) strictly ban dive gloves to discourage divers from touching delicate coral reefs and marine life.

• Camera & Gear Handling: The Amara palm material provides superior grip when wet compared to full neoprene. It is ideal for operating small camera buttons, adjusting dive computer menus, or handling stainless steel clips underwater.

• Donning & Doffing Sequence: Secure your dive computer or wrist console over the thin cuff of the glove, or pull the glove cuff under the suit sleeve to prevent water scooping into the suit arm during entry.

• Post-Dive Care: Rinse thoroughly with fresh water after saltwater exposure. Pay close attention to washing salt crystals out of the Velcro hook-and-loop wrist pads to maintain long-term closure grip. Air dry flat out of direct sunlight to keep the synthetic leather palm soft and supple.
