Oceanpro Lycra Hood

In the tropics, for the summer the Oceanpro Lycra Hood is the ideal hood for divers, snorkelers, and spearos who demand a hood that is streamlined and comfortable to wear. It is ideal for Stinger/Sun protection. 

A proper lycra hood like this one provides complete UV protection as well as stinger and abrasion protection during diving in tropical warm water.  In addition to all of these great features, the hood has been specially engineered with a soft brushed finish, for your comfort and is less likely to cause irritation to your skin.

Marine Stingers:

The Box Jellyfish and the Irukandji Jellyfish are present in the tropical waters of North Queensland mostly during the summer months from November to May. The risk of being stung during these months is high so you should wear protection.  If you want more information please follow the link to the Queensland Government page
