AKUANA Opah DS Heated Diving Suit

AKUANA Opah DS Scuba Diving Heated drysuit Vest has gone through 2 years of research on the manufacturing process and was put into the market after rigid testing under extreme condition, such as Antarctica.

Our heated vest provides additional heat to the users just like Opah generates heat by beating its pelvic fins.

Good stuff!

It is a great drysuit undergarment heated vest though with the fact that I need to open a hole on my drysuit. I spent two-week time in Galápagos Islands and the temps was around 55 degrees. This vest warmed me up in no time after I started diving. I was able to fine tune the heat depending on the temperature and the battery can at least last for around 2 hours. You can always purchase extra batter canister if you wish to dive for a much longer time.
