Wetwear

History

Wetwear was established in North Miami, Florida in 1976 selling stock and custom wet suits exclusively to dive shops. During this time, all US wet suit manufacturers used Rubatex neoprene in the construction of their wet suits. In 1982 Wetwear opened a dive shop and wet suit manufacturing facility under the names Aquatic Divers and Aquatic Fabricators. After a decade of running the dive shop and making wet suits, a decision was made to focus solely on wet suits. Gene and Connie continued to market their suits to the public under the name Aquatic Wetsuits. In 1995 an interesting discovery was made. Imported neoprene lost half or more of its' thickness in the second atmosphere. The imported neoprene continued to lose thickness as it was taken deeper. The Rubatex neoprene lost very little thickness even when taken to depths of 140 feet. This discovery led to our current adventure of educating the public about what they are really diving with.
