Fourth Element Launch Pelagic and Amphibian Wetsuit Boots

We are eagerly awaiting the arrival of Fourth Element’s latest products; the Pelagic and Amphibian wetsuit boots. You might wonder why we’re so excited about a simple boot but in respect to comfort, performance and design these new products are second to none. As with the whole range, Fourth Element has considered all aspects of diver need to come up with two ergonomically constructed boots with some incredible features.


Both boots are 6.5mm neoprene and offer optimum warmth and comfort. Other features include a cut away on the back of the heel to minimise stress of the Achilles tendon during finning, a heavy duty zip and zip stopper to ensure your boot zip doesn’t come undone during a dive, as well as fin strap retainer. The best feature of both boots though is the Footbed insole which is fully removable and easily cleaned. This insole offers a stiff ‘chassis’ to provide stability and comfort when walking along a rocky beach, climbing fin ladders etc. The underside of the insole has a heel strike pad to offer impact protection and the whole thing is lined to support the heel and arch of the foot. This is a revolution in dive boot and is the first fully supportive and ergonomically designed footbed.

The Pelagic boot, priced at £39.95 is the lightweight version of a wetsuit boot with a fairly soft, flexible sole. The Amphibian boot, priced at £49.95 is a harder soled boot more suitable for rockier entry methods. It is also physically larger so will be easily worn with the same fins as a diver wears with their drysuit.

Sub-Mission Dive Centre is expecting delivery of these boots by the end of April but get 15% discount if you pre-order now!
