Thermalution is a new company that has begun offering divers a way to keep warm while you’re underwater. Their power heated undersuit comes in a range of sizes and power levels to keep you comfortable when the water you’re diving in is trying to suck away all your body heat.
The thin material undersuit is designed to be worn underneath a wetsuit to help keep a pool of warm water around your body. A side mounted battery connects to a heating element positioned over the lower back, and the gear is controlled with an attached remote, allowing users to adjust the warmth to your desired setting.
Thermalution’s Power Heated Undersuit comes in a wide range of sizes, styles and depth ratings depending on your activity. For shallow snorkeling down to 10 meters, the yellow grade will get you in the door of heated diving for around 120 minutes of heating, priced at $349. On the other end of the spectrum, the top of the line Red Grade Ultra is suitable for diving down to 300 meters and 240 minutes of heating time.
No matter how big or warm blooded you are, repeated diving will sap your heat and the energy your body needs to generate it. You might not even consider using a power heated undersuit like Thermalution is offering on the first dive of the day, but come dive number four or five, we all would love to have a underwater heater to help us get the most from our time underwater.
