Fourth Element release new freediving suit
For 20 years fourth element have been pioneers of underwater thermal protection, experience they now bring to freediving.
Designed for recreational freediving, their new RF collection uses a optimum combination of Glideskin, Smoothskin and lined neoprene to maximise your freedom in the water, allowing you to focus on your breath, visualise and reach your limit.
The 3/2mm RF1 suit is easy to don, yet effectively sealed by Smoothskin seals at the wrists, ankles and neck. A ‘black-out’ zipper and robust inner linings ensure that this suit is more versatile than open cell suits, but water ingress is minimised keeping you warmer for longer.
Glideskin panels over the shoulders and along the legs give excellent stretch, improving fit and hydrodynamics, while subtle knee protection and more durable linings elsewhere ensure that this suit is practical for freediving in many environments.
The RF1 suit can be combined with the new RF vest to enhance thermal protection. This creates 6mm on the critical torso area and 3mm protection for the head, keeping suit flush to a minimum without adding restrictive bulk.

This Summer, dive and snorkelling gear manufacturer Oceanic is inviting its customers to “Set Their Dive Free.” Dubbed the Predator line, the company is releasing a free dive-specific fin, mask, snorkel and mesh carry bag to support this growing segment within the watersport market.
“The Predator line is designed for entry-level free divers and open-water hunters,” Oceanic Brand Manager, Nick Hollis, says of the new offerings, “but with the ease of use and quality you’ve come to expect from the brand.”
Stylishly designed and expertly crafted, the set – including mask, fins, snorkel and mesh bag – comes in a contemporary blue camo print.
The Predator Fin will feature a full-foot design and a rigid long blade for excellent propulsion. The Predator Mask will boast an ultra low-volume design with soft-squeeze buckles for easy adjustment and a comfy universal skirt. Plus, a simple and reliable J-tube snorkel with no valves or removable parts keeps things elegantly simple – just what freedivers are looking for.
The complete offering is now shipping and available at local retailers.
