Eric Keibler Mar 21, 2022
Join us as we introduce the new styles of Fourth Element’s Ocean Positive swimwear and sun protection. The US Sales Manager, Michele Tomitillo as well as Dive Mom and Zaide will be on hand to help you find the perfect ensemble for your next adventure! This is your opportunity to see all of the swimsuits, rash guards, and leggings and to find your perfect size and fit. The Ocean Positive line is sold as separates so getting a more personalized fit is easier than with any other swimsuit line.
What is a Trunk Show?
A “Trunk Show” is your opportunity to see all of the Fourth Element Ocean Positive product line in one place. Some of the items are not yet available in the United States. There is an opportunity to try on the various sizes and styles and to either take it home after the show or you will be able to order your perfect outfit.
Will there be beverages and food served?
It is an event at Oceanic Ventures so of course there will be beverages and lite bites being served during the event. Don’t ask us what yet, our caterer, Eric, has not told us what he is preparing. But there will be some wine and adult beverages as well as night-diving (alcohol free) beverages available.
What is so special about Ocean Positive Swimwear?
Other than the stunning designs and wonderful ocean themed colours, these suits were designed by divers for divers. There are no clasps or large string ties to interfere with your wetsuit seals or to make them uncomfortable to wear under your wetsuit.
Additionally, they are made from recycled ghost nets and dissuaded nylon products. This means that purchasing them helps the oceans in a positive way.
Ghost nets’ amount to over 600,000 tonnes of lost gear every year. The main hazard is to marine life – from invertebrates to large marine mammals. They continue to fish long after they have been abandoned, and account for countless lives lost. The netting, very slow to degrade, scrubs coral, creating a desolate seascape where they are dragged over the reef by shifting currents.
Now, all over the world, dive teams are removing these ghost nets from the wrecks and reefs, often at great depths, and bringing them up to the surface where they can be recycled and spun into nylon yarn. The recycled yarn is combined with LYCRA® XTRA LIFE™ to provide a long-lasting fit and resist degradation from chlorinated water, the heat and sunscreen lotions up to 10 times longer than unprotected fabrics.
By choosing products made with recycled materials you are helping the oceans in a positive way.
