01 What it is for

Your hands do everything: load the gun, hold the rock in surge, grip a fish, pull a shaft out, handle a conger or a bluefish. Bare hands last about one dive on Moroccan rock before they are cut, and cold hands stop working long before the rest of you feels it.

Gloves keep the hands warm enough to load a gun after two hours, and they take the damage the rock, the urchins and the fish would otherwise do.

02 What to look for

Neoprene gloves, 2 to 3 mm for the Mediterranean and the summer Atlantic, 3 to 5 mm for the Atlantic in winter. Thicker is warmer and clumsier; a 5 mm glove makes loading and knots slow.

What matters:

A textured or coated palm. Smooth neoprene slips on a wet gun barrel and a fish.
Reinforced fingertips and palm, or a tough outer material on a neoprene liner. Gloves wear through at the fingertips first, on rock.
A long cuff that tucks under the suit sleeve. A short cuff lets water pump in at the wrist.
Pre-curved fingers, which reduce the effort of closing the hand.

Dyneema or kevlar-reinforced gloves cut the rate at which rock destroys them and protect against teeth and spines, at the cost of a little warmth. For a diver who handles congers, morays and bluefish, they are worth it.

03 Fit and sizing

Snug on the fingers with no empty fingertip, because an empty tip fills with water and freezes. Try them wet if you can: neoprene stretches a little in water. A glove that is tight across the knuckles will cramp your hand.

04 Care

Rinse, turn inside out to dry, keep out of the sun. Gloves are consumables: expect one or two seasons before the fingertips go, and glue small holes as soon as they appear.

Common mistakes

01 Diving without gloves because the water was warm. The rock is not warm.
02 Buying 5 mm for summer. The hands overheat and the diver cannot feel the trigger.
03 Ignoring a small hole. It becomes a cold hand in a week.

Safety

Gloves are not proof against a conger bite or a bluefish's teeth. They turn a deep cut into a shallow one. Keep hands away from mouths regardless.

What to compare

Thickness: 2 to 3 mm summer and Mediterranean, 3 to 5 mm Atlantic winter.
Palm: textured or coated for grip.
Reinforcement: fingertips and palm; kevlar or dyneema for fish with teeth.
Cuff: long, under the suit sleeve.
