Get into diving with Hammond
In 2019 Hammond Drysuits will be celebrating 40 years of keeping customers warm and dry with their range of Made-to-Measure scuba diving drysuits. They are a company with experience in the diving world, and they understand scuba diving can be expensive, especially when you are starting out. For this reason, they have created a ‘starter kit’ which will be available to order at the Dive Show 2018 on stand 460 at the NEC on 27/28 October.
Included in the starter pack, is an HDS 140 Made-to-Measure Diving Drysuit with the new XL changing mat bag, Apex inflation hose, CoreTek undersuit (top, leggings and socks), Fourth Element 3mm hood and a pair of Ionic 4mm Kevlar gloves. This also comes with a Hammond Hoodie. This complete starter kit is a great package and can be yours for £790, giving you incredible savings.
The HDS Diving Drysuit from Hammond is ideal for beginners, it’s made from a N140 trilaminate fabric, and comes with a free changing mat. All seams are single stitched, and hand taped for a longer lasting watertight seam. The suit is Made-to-Measure for maximum comfort.
“We have customers that send us their drysuits to repair, some of those suits we made 25 years ago! A drysuit is an investment, and one we are proud to make for our customers. We hope this starter package will help those new to diving be able to experience the comfort and fit of our Made-to-Measure,” comments Chris Hammond Managing Director of Hammond Drysuits.
On the stand will be our complete range of drysuits starting from the HDS, designed for those just beginners, through to our HDS CP Pro and our HDS Pro-Elite for the more experienced. We also have the HDS Lite, which is a lighter suit, ideal for those wish to keep luggage weight to a minimum. All our drysuits are made to order, and M2M (Made-to-Measure) for the ultimate comfort and fit and made in Britain by our team in Dartford.
