Dive gloves protect hands from cold water, sharp objects, and marine life. Made from materials such as neoprene or other thermal fabrics, gloves help maintain dexterity and warmth while diving. They come in various thicknesses and designs, including those with reinforced palms for better grip and protection. Proper fit and flexibility are essential to ensure that gloves do not interfere with diving tasks or dexterity. Regular inspection and maintenance are necessary to prevent wear and tear that could affect their performance.
