DiveGlide
The only way to fly… underwater, that is! After many years of designing and testing, the world’s first recreational underwater glider, the “DiveGlide”, is here. This new form of diving allows divers to move through the water with speed like never before in a similar way to marine life without mechanical sound. Other attributes are no batteries, no electric motor or propellers, and very little maintenance. The energy comes from scuba tanks and weights and the forward motion is created by manipulating its buoyancy and changing the angle of attack of the wing. Underwater gliding (or buoyancy gliding) has a very natural feel, much like surfing or sailing. Novice or experienced, everyone who tries it finds it very exciting. Glenn Faires, owner of Golden Rock Dive Center on St.Eustatius and inventor of the DiveGlide, says “It’s like crawling all your life and then one day you can fly!” He goes on to say that while it’s not for everyone, the possible applications are numerous, and we will have to wait and see what divers will do with it. Every time someone tries it the first time they hit the surface all you hear is laughter and then “I want one!!” The only way to really get it is to fly it yourself, Faires said. The DiveGlide is presently being built to order, and currently only available to fly in St. Eustatius with Glenn; however, manufacturing, distribution and licensing agreements are currently being sought out.
DiveGlide is also now available for demonstrations and training at water sports events and diving destinations. If you think you’ve done it all in the water or just want to try something new, you have to check this out.

The DYNAMICNORD RB-10 rock boot has been specially developed for professional use. It is made of highly resistant materials and features innovative technologies. As a result, the boot sets new standards for demanding professionals who expect the highest quality and performance.
The rock boot boasts an innovative drainage system that ensures unrivalled comfort. After just ten steps ashore, the rock boot is completely free of water. The diving boot has an extra wide opening, which allows you to put it on and take it off effortlessly.
The highly resistant materials of the RB-10 rock boot offer a perfect combination of robustness and flexibility. The high-tech upper material does not absorb water and therefore dries extremely quickly.
The rock boot’s unique lacing system, including the lacing elements, ensures that you won’t experience any uncomfortable pressure points on your foot when wearing your fins. The laces themselves are made of a heavy-duty technical mesh that ensures that they won’t come undone even when wet. The shoelaces can be completely stowed away in the rock boot’s well thought-out shoelace pocket for maximum safety.
Thanks to the special lacing, you can also achieve optimum volume adjustment within the boot, which makes it ideal for various drysuits or neoprene socks.
Particularly noteworthy is the sole system with the Vibram sole, which is highly puncture-resistant. The honeycomb design imitates the natural movement of barefoot running and offers an unrivalled running sensation. The rock boot’s wide, deep zigzag tread guarantees optimum grip, while the rubber toe cap effectively protects the material from abrasion. In combination with the boot’s structural insole, this ensures that you won’t feel any unevenness even on rocky terrain.
The diving boot’s ergonomic insole offers additional comfort thanks to its innovative cushioning.
The RB-10 rock boot was developed for a temperature range of -5°C to +30°C and offers outstanding performance in both cold and warm climates.
Tested by specialists, made by experts.
Designed and engineered in Germany. Made in Europe.
