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!
