DIVERNET XTRA

WIN! WIN! WIN!
One of 3 Northern Diver undersuit packages!

Three lucky winners will find it easier to stay warm and comfortable throughout their dives, thanks to our latest competition sponsored by Northern Diver.
Enter our free competition and you will be in with a chance to win a Metalux-Arctic, Thermalux or Arctic Base undersuit, each one accompanied by a rash vest for added protection and comfort.
The one-piece Metalux-Arctic and the three-piece Arctic Base are recommended for cold-water use under neoprene or membrane drysuits. The versatile, lightweight Thermalux can be layered with a thicker undersuit, or used solo under neoprene or membrane drysuits according to water temperature, or even under a semi-drysuit or wetsuit for additional comfort and warmth.
