Subgear’s Definition Range – A new Generation
The Definition has become one of Subgear’s most sought after products since its introduction in 1999. Over the last 15 years this classic has moved with the times, becoming more comfortable, fashionable and offering more features than ever. With the striking new colours, the wetsuits are unmistakeable.
Definition IR7: eye-catching design, maximum comfort, ideal for moderate waters
The 7mm Definition steamer made with warm and cozy Titanium Plush neoprene offers first-rate protection in temperate regions. It is named after it’s Infrared fleece inner lining, which reflects body heat, increasing insulation. The Ultraspan inserts on the chest and the highly flexible but abrasion resistant Stretchtec sides work to reduce water circulation. The 3D cut guarantees the best possible fit.
The Spine pad, the thick wrist and ankle seals as well as the zip on the base of the neck contribute towards the outstanding level of comfort. Features like the I-Grip and the Guard Tec are the icing on the cake. The black and blue colour scheme gives it a pure and cool feel.
Every diver will find their second skin with a choice of 22 sizes. For added warmth the 6.5mm vest can be worn with the IR7.
Definition IR5: stylish and extraordinarily comfy, excellent for mid-warm waters
The Definition IR5 has the same advantages as the IR7 but, as the name gives away, this is a 5mm wetsuit. The men’s version with a simple but tasteful white design looks both sporty and elegant. The contrast of black neoprene and pink detail makes the ladies 5mm irresistible. Every diver will find their second skin with a choice of 22 sizes. For added warmth the 6.5mm vest can be worn with the IR5.
Definition 3: modern design, unique fit, perfect for the tropics
The 3mm wetsuit is constructed of Flex Tech and Soft Neoprene but still manages to keep the distinct 3D-cut which provides an exceptional level of comfort. Zips on the back, neck, wrists and ankles make it incredibly easy to get on and off. Divers just need to try this out once to become loyal Definition divers for life.
The Definition 3 is available in male sizes only. For warmer waters Subgear’s chic Element 3mm is the perfect wetsuit for female divers.
Subgear’s Unique Body Map System
All wetsuits have a special cut and an innovative use of material which take in to account the different needs and strains of each individual body. Best fit, a high level of comfort and optimal insulation are guaranteed.
Only X-Foam with Subgear
X-foam is the only neoprene formulation that complies with the very strict P.A.H. (Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons) test requirements. Subgear’s X-foam has been tested by the TÜV Rheinland. The P.A.H values were way below the recommended guidelines.
The new look Definition Range is now available at authorised Subgear dealers.

May the 4th be with you!
Oyster Diving have recently been given exclusive access to offer scuba diving courses and fun dives at Mercers Lake, a beautiful lake near M25/Gatwick in the UK.
Oyster have just launched their own dive boat ‘The Blue Pear’ to explore various parts of the lake. Divers can glide around the underwater woodland, see lots of fish and decent visibility. Out of the water divers set up in the purpose built kitting up area, unwind in a warm shower, and off-gas in the café & licensed bar.
To celebrate the start of the summer season, AquaSports and Oyster Diving have teamed up to host a Star Wars-themed open day on the 4th May.
Guests will be able to enjoy discounted tasters of various watersports including Stand Up Paddleboarding (SUP), Canoeing and Sailing. Oyster Diving will be joined by Apeks and possibly other dive manufacturers to display their latest products. Demo gear will be available for qualified divers and Oyster’s sales support team will be on hand for customers with any questions.
Divers wishing to get in the water will need to book in via Oyster Diving’s website where you can also choose to hire any equipment. Non-divers and well behaved dogs are very welcome!
As well as the watersports there will also be music, food and a licensed bar. The fun starts at 10am and finishes around 4.30pm.
Please come along, wear your finest Stormtrooper or Princess Leia outfit and enjoy the fun!

Gear Showcase: The Nomad Ray Sidemount System from Dive Rite
Dive Rite was founded in 1984 by technical divers and cave explorers with the goal to make the very best scuba diving equipment available. Gear that can be trusted on the most extreme dives and exceed expectations in any environment: reef, wreck, cave, or quarry.
The Nomad Ray is the product of years of design, development, field testing, and feedback from some of the world’s leading sidemount divers and instructors.
The Nomad Ray is available in black, blue, OD green, pink, or red. If you happen to find yourself in a tight spot, the Ray’s abrasion-resistant “skid plate” will have your back: providing wear protection exactly where it’s needed the most. SuperFabric® is a fast drying, highly durable, and slash-resistant material. The Nomad Ray Sidemount System is ready to perform in the toughest diving environments.
The Nomad Ray can be easily adjusted to comfortably fit all body types. The independently adjustable harness design can be quickly set up for any diver. Shoulder and waist webbing can be replaced independently if damaged or trimmed too short. The Nomad Ray uses a fast, tool-free bungee length adjustment system. Simply pull to the desired length, tie a single overhand knot, and tuck the excess into the integrated sleeve. A quick-adjust belly band with a custom moulded bungee hook keeps the wing wrapped snugly around the diver’s body.
A zipper on the inside of the Nomad Ray wing allows for access to three integrated weight pockets capable of holding up to five pounds of each of hard or soft weight.
