Recommended Accessories

Maximise your time in the water with the SALT Of The Sea collection of recommended accessories. While having the right high-performance neoprene is essential, the small details often make the biggest difference to your comfort and safety. This handpicked selection features essential items designed to complement our primary range of Wetsuits and technical Diving Gear. From maintenance tools that extend the life of your equipment to practical add-ons for your next coastal mission, these accessories are built to handle the rugged Australian elements and support your transition from the shore to the blue.

What is this page best for?

This page is the ultimate resource for finding the "missing pieces" of your dive or surf kit. It is best for explorers who have already secured their main suit—whether from our Men’s Wetsuits, Women’s Wetsuits, or Kids Wetsuits ranges—and now need the supporting gear that makes every session smoother. Here, you will find everything from weight system components and gear storage solutions to specialized care products that ensure your investment remains in peak condition for years to come.

Choosing the right thickness

While this collection focuses on accessories, many items like hoods, gloves, and boots are thickness-dependent. Choosing the right thermal accessory depends on your primary activity:

• 1.5mm to 2mm Accessories: Best for tropical regions or summer sessions in southern states, providing a touch of warmth without compromising the high flexibility needed for surfing.
• 3mm and Thicker: Essential for winter diving or extended spearfishing sessions. Thicker accessories pair perfectly with our Spearfishing Wetsuits to prevent heat loss from your extremities in cold southern waters.

Warmth, stretch and durability

At SALT Of The Sea, we apply the same rigorous standards to our accessories as we do to our main gear. We prioritise durable materials like high-grade silicone and reinforced neoprene to ensure longevity against salt and sun. Our accessories are designed to provide extra warmth where you need it most, while maintaining the stretch required for technical movements underwater. Whether it is a grippy weight belt or a streamlined snorkel, every piece is tested to ensure it integrates seamlessly with your existing setup for a more reliable ocean experience.

FAQs

How do I know if an accessory is compatible with my wetsuit?

Most of our recommended accessories, such as weight belts and gear bags, are universal. However, for thermal accessories like hoods or boots, ensure the thickness matches the water temperature you typically face. Our gear is designed to work as a complete system, so SALT Of The Sea accessories will always integrate perfectly with SALT branded suits.

What is the best way to maintain my diving accessories?

Just like your wetsuit, always rinse your accessories in fresh water after every session to remove salt, sand, and chlorine. Dry them in the shade, away from direct sunlight, which can cause materials like silicone and neoprene to perish or lose their flexibility over time.

Why do I need specific accessories for spearfishing versus surfing?

Spearfishing often requires low-profile, streamlined gear to reduce drag and noise during a dive. Surfing accessories prioritise high-stretch and secure fitment to handle the impact of waves. We provide clear descriptions for each item to help you choose the best tool for your specific ocean discipline.

Are these accessories suitable for kids?

We offer a variety of accessories in different sizes. For younger divers, ensure you check specific sizing guides for items like masks or fins to ensure a watertight seal and comfortable fit, which is essential for a positive experience in the water.
