Are diving hoods waterproof?
Scuba Hood is not a completely waterproof product, but a diving equipment to match wetsuits. By wearing a wetsuit hood, you’re protecting your head from the cold and insulating your entire body more efficiently – meaning you can surf for longer! Whether the wetsuit is hooded or you wear a detachable wetsuit hood, they both work excellently at protecting your head from all wintery water issues.
What is the best hood for diving?

The trapped heat, in turn, heats the water that is trapped between the diver’s head and the neoprene. A 7mm wetsuit is highly recommended with the addition of the proper accessories such as a hooded vest.Thicker wetsuits may reduce this range of motion slightly, so take this into account before going up a size in 5mm and 7mm suits. Seals at your neck, wrists, and ankles should be snug but not too tight, and the suit should conform to your body everywhere.A 1-2mm neoprene top and shorts will give a good extra layer of warmth, more so than thermals and will give your core extra protection. Go for zip free options to wear under wetsuits, so you don’t get marks. Zips can get really uncomfortable when pressed close to you under the wetsuit.A hooded wetsuit is the better option for the surfer who fears no weather and is ready to chase the winter swells, come snow or shine. This is because they offer more protection from the cold water due to the minimal gaps and seams in the neoprene.
