About this product

The Cressi Ultraspan Hood 3mm provides lightweight thermal protection with the flexibility needed for comfortable movement underwater. Made from soft Ultraspan neoprene, it helps reduce heat loss around the head and neck without the bulk of a thicker cold-water hood.

Its close-fitting ergonomic shape is designed to sit comfortably around the face and neck, while the smooth, flexible material makes the hood easier to put on and remove. The 3 mm construction makes it well suited to temperate-water diving, snorkelling, surfing and other water activities where moderate insulation is required.

Choosing and caring for your gear

Lightweight Thermal Protection for Temperate-Water Diving

A dive hood can noticeably improve comfort by reducing heat loss around the head and neck. The Cressi Ultraspan Hood uses 3 mm neoprene to provide moderate insulation while remaining softer and less restrictive than a thicker cold-water hood.

This balance makes it a useful option for divers who need more protection than an uncovered head provides but do not require the additional bulk of a 5 mm or 7 mm hood. It can also be used for snorkelling, surfing and other water activities where flexibility and moderate warmth are important.

How Should the Cressi Ultraspan Hood Fit?

The hood should sit closely against the head, cheeks and neck without causing headaches, jaw pressure or restricted movement. A fit that is too loose may allow excessive water circulation, while an overly tight hood can become uncomfortable during longer sessions.

When choosing a size, consider trying the hood with your dive mask. The mask skirt should seal directly against the face rather than resting over the edge of the hood.

Is a 3mm Hood Suitable for Melbourne Diving?

A 3 mm hood can suit milder local conditions, shorter dives and divers who prefer greater flexibility. For colder Victorian water, winter diving or extended bottom times, many divers may prefer a thicker 5 mm or 7 mm hood depending on their wetsuit or drysuit system and personal cold tolerance.

Frequently asked questions

What water temperatures is a 3mm dive hood suitable for?

A 3 mm hood is generally best suited to temperate or moderately cool water. The appropriate thickness also depends on dive duration, the rest of your exposure protection and your personal tolerance to cold.

Can I use the Cressi Ultraspan Hood with a wetsuit?

Yes. The hood can be paired with a suitable wetsuit to provide additional warmth around the head and neck. Check that the neck area sits comfortably with the wetsuit collar and does not create folds or gaps.

Can this hood be used with a drysuit?

It can be worn with a drysuit if the fit is appropriate and it does not interfere with the drysuit neck seal. For colder or longer drysuit dives, a thicker hood may provide better insulation.

How tight should the Cressi Ultraspan Hood feel?

It should feel snug and remain securely in position without causing headaches, jaw pressure or restricted neck movement. A close fit helps limit water circulation and improve warmth.

Can I use this hood for snorkelling or surfing?

Yes. Its lightweight, flexible 3 mm construction makes it suitable for snorkelling, surfing and other water activities where moderate insulation is useful.

How should I care for a neoprene dive hood?

Rinse the hood thoroughly in fresh water after use, allow it to dry naturally away from direct sunlight and store it without sharp folds. Avoid strong chemicals, excessive heat and machine washing.
