      Suit Storage

      Standard clothes hangers cause extra strain to your suit’s shoulders, leading to stretching and cracking. Use a flexible, padded Flex Fashion™ Wet Suit Hanger instead. The Flex Fashion Wet Suit Hanger can be molded to accommodate any suit shape. Store your suit and all dive gear in a cool, dry closet away from direct heat or sunlight, to prevent premature aging. If you must store dive gear in the garage, use air and light tight containers to protect from exhaust fumes, temperature extremes and moisture. Leave your suit’s zipper open during storage to eliminate strain on the sealing elements.

      Silicone Pump™

      To slide right into your wet suit and booties, spray inside with Silicone Pump™ prior to suiting up.
      To ease dry suit entry, put a plastic grocery bag (with an opening on both ends) or a shower cap over your head to prevent the latex neck seal from sticking to your hair.

      Clean & Deodorize Your Wetsuit

      Regular cleaning with Wet Suit & Dry Suit Shampoo prevents chlorine and salt damage (left half of photo) and keeps suits looking and feeling like new (right half of photo).

    • Wetsuit Care

      Step 1:

      Find two clean large tubs – one for washing and one for deodorizing. Fill both tubs with enough warm or cold water to submerge your suit. To the first tub, add 2 capfuls (1/2 oz) of Wet Suit & Dry Suit Shampoo per gallon of water.

      Step 2:

      For extra suit conditioning, add a few teaspoons of Silicone Pump™ in with your Wet Suit & Dry Suit Shampoo when washing your suit.

      Step 3:

      Give your suit a good scrub to eliminate saltwater, chlorine, sweat, urine and other residue. Regular cleaning maintains suit suppleness, keeps colors bright and eases suit entry.

      Step 4:

      To remove residual odors and bacteria from your wet suit, add 2 capfuls (1/2 oz) of MiraZyme™ Enzyme Based Gear Deodorizer to the second tub. For stubborn odors, apply MiraZyme directly to problem areas with a spray bottle.

      Step 5:

      Dip suit to saturate all areas. Remove from tub. Do NOT rinse.

      Step 6:

      Hang suit to dry on a flexible, padded wet suit hanger. As the suit dries, MiraZyme does its work - consuming organic matter such as hair, mold, mildew, as well as algae, bacteria, pollution, waste matter and urine, leaving your suit odor-free.

  • Boat Cleaning

    Boat Cleaning

    To clean tough stains off boats, rafts, kayaks and canoes use McNett® Boat Cleaner. Apply, allow to soak for a few seconds (longer for tougher stains), and buff off. This environmentally friendly formula effectively removes ‘bathtub ring’ stains, mold and tar stains on fiberglass, Kevlar®, Hypalon®, PVC and other boat materials.
  • Mask Tip

    Mask Tip

    Mask fogging results from warm humid air inside the mask meeting a lens surface cooled by water. Warmer air is capable of holding more water vapor (water in gas form) than cooler air. Therefore, when air is cooled, a portion of its water vapor condenses into tiny liquid droplets, or “fog”. McNett® Anti-Fogs prevent fogging by creating a thin, invisible film on the lens which creates a “sheeting effect” - eliminating the formation of condensation droplets.
