There are two ways to print for fins:

1) For LOGO or other small area, we often use the screen printing;

2) For the whole part, we often use the water transfer, but it is just for plastic parts, as the silicone parts often can not be sticked very well.

Therefore, if you would like to let the fins be more special and unique, such as adding your own LOGO, adding some pictures or images on the surface of fins, maybe you can try it.

Diving fins / flippers are a thin component to provide the ability to steer by producing lift or thrust under the water. they will let diver use less power to move quickly like fish when diving underwater.
There are several tapes fins in the market. such as full foot flippers, open heel flippers, scuba fins or long fins, snorkeling fins or short fins, Mermaid fins, carbon fiber fins…etc.

Firstly, we also can use diving mask for spearfishing, but this would be not so convenient as the view is not so enough, therefore, the spearfishing mask is worked out. it is with so wide view, but it is a little bit heavy as the tempered glass is so big.

The answer should be “Yes”, there are two ways to print:

1) Using the screen printing for LOGO or other small area;

2) Using the water transfer for the whole part, but it is often just for plastic parts, as the silicone parts often can not be sticked very well.

Therefore, if you would like to let the mask be more special and unique, you can try it. 

Judging a diving mask quality is a key factor to decide if buying it. the mask quality would affect the mask seal to let us be into dangerous situation when diving. So if possible, the high end quality mask should be chosen. There are some parameters for the different level masks.

For the water sports gears, the mask is very important equipment for scuba diving, freediving, snorkeling, spearfishing. There are some types in the market.

1. Snorkeling mask or full face mask, this is often for snorkeling, as it is with snorkel and covering full face, it is so friend for beginner of diving or snorkeling.

2. Diving mask, it only covers the eyes and nose and use all of underwater activities. In order to satisfy the market necessary, it includes single lens mask, two lens mask.

With just one touch, the mask will last for years or even decades. Try to keep the mask out of direct sunlight. Soak the mask in fresh water after each dive. If you can rinse your mask with fresh water between dives, do so too.

1. Wash the plastic container separately with fresh water and a little baby shampoo. You want to make sure there is no sand or salt in the container.

2. Check the mask to make sure it is clean, paying close attention to the area beneath the inner seal for salt or sand. Check the nose pocket and where the skirt attaches to the panel.

3. When satisfied, dry the mask with a micro cloth and place in a container. The container should be the top item in your kit, so there is nothing on it. A leaky scuba mask is annoying, but so is a fogging scuba mask.

Seemingly simple, these few steps will prevent your mask from leaking and provide you with years of enjoyment.

Storing your mask should like you would any precious scuba gear. Never place the mask where it can bear any weight, this will put pressure on the skirt and deform it. The glass should always be facing up and away from surfaces that could scratch it. Most masks come with a plastic storage case, if yours doesn't, get one. Keep masks in boxes whenever possible.

When you're shopping for a mask, you need to do two tests to make sure the one you're buying is the right fit. If you don't get the proper fit, it's impossible to prevent the mask from leaking.

Put on the mask and hold it lightly in place with the straps. Look in the mirror and notice that the mask is centered on your face and does not protrude beyond your cheeks. Also, double check that the nose feels comfortable. Pressure on the nose, either on the front or the bottom will tell you that the shape is not for you.

Look around to see if you can see clearly enough. The second test is the one everyone always tells you. Take off the mask and put the strap on the front of the mask. Remove the hair around the face and put the mask in place. Inhale through your nose and the mask should fit snugly to your face. Try to feel for air leaking into the mask.

Hold your breath to see if the mask will stay in place. If it does, and you feel no air leaks, the mask should work just fine. Men with facial growth may have difficulty getting a good seal, in which case they may need to apply petroleum jelly to their facial hair.

Wearing mask better can let us enjoy diving well, so we should take care when using a mask.

1. A tight strap doesn’t mean you’ll get a tight seal. Some divers attempt tightening the strap on the mask in an effort to get it to seal properly to their faces. But this is ineffective and will only result in damage caused to the skirt of your mask. Instead, focus on getting a high-end quality mask made of the best materials to get the best seal and maintain that seal throughout your dive.

2. The correct size mask for your face is also very important. If the size is not suitable for your face, it will let the silicone of mask can not cover your face very well so that the water would enter your eyes.

A snorkeling mask or full-face mask is consisted of mask and snorkel. The snorkel is foldable and anti-watering. It usually used for swimming and snorkeling to let us enjoy the underwater view without worrying about watering our eyes and breathing, because the mask covers our face and provide the air by snorkel.

A diving mask is essential for a clear view underwater. The human eyes cannot focus when in direct contact with water, which has a different refractive index than air. The air trapped by the mask allows the eyes to focus, albeit with some dimensional distortion.
diving masks include half mask, dive mask or scuba mask. It is an item of diving gear that allows underwater divers, including scuba divers, free-divers, and snorkelers, to see clearly underwater. 

This new material called SCS AURORA was developed by Yamamoto company recently.

The digital printing is often for print big area pattern. It is worked out by the special print machine. The principle is like printer for paper. Therefore,
1) It can print bigger area, colorful pattern.
2) It has the surface requirement as it can not print very well for smooth skin.

The screen printing is often for printing LOGO, some patterns. This printing is based on printing firm / mold. The principle is like that using the ink to spray to get letter / image. Therefore, as the limitation of firm / mold,

1) The size of the item to print should not so big and so small.

2) The color should be printed one by one.

There is a new style wetsuit that is with zipless in recent years, it is a good idea for wetsuit industry. It is worked out from front chest zip style by canceling the zip and increasing the entry.  The benefits: One is to save the cost to make the wetsuit, another is to increase the wetsuit warm for our body. But it would be not so good to keep warm by adjusting after using the wetsuit for a certain time.

The leg pocket is a practical technical diving pocket with small pockets and zippers to put some tools when diving. This pocket is not often for wetsuit. but it is often for semi-drysuit or drysuit. This is because the drysuit is often for special underwater works or some professional scuba divers with long time. the pocket can increase the work efficiency. 

The crotch zipper is usually not use for common wetsuit or semi-drysuit. it is a zip with two zipper slider between front and back of crotch or just front of crotch. The aim is for being easy when we need WC immediately. Therefore, this function is often for scuba diving from Military and some special underwater works.

The Silicone tapes are often for the cuffs and leg openings of high-end surfing wetsuits to reduce the water entering from outside as this is made by smooth skin silicone, then they can keep body be warmer.

Yes, the wetsuit can be stored by hanging or folding. However, pls make sure to fold it by the waistline. and not put anything on top of them if stored in a storage unit. If you have a EPE foam rod put the line made by folding, it would be better. If using a hanger, pls avoid using thin metal ones that will imprint on the fabric, and if possible, the wider wooden hang would be better to protect the wetsuit.

In general, a wetsuit can last for many years if you take care of it, including wearing with being careful, washing with the right way, storing in the suitable place, and so on. However, if you use it frequently, you may need to replace it every few years. A high-end wetsuit from a quality wetsuit manufacturer should last for longer time, it maybe can be from 4 years to 10 years or more, but it depends on how often you use.
