10 Best Dive Boots in 2023

The Scubapro Delta dive boots offer great quality and come in 3mm and 5mm thickness options. The soft rubber sole provided by the comfy and sturdy design means that these boots fit very well in any underwater environment. They are very good all round dive boots and are recommended for divers looking for comfortable and functional dive boots, while providing the kind of protection you need.

The Cressi Isla dive boots are one of the best dive boots on the market. The toe and heel have been reinforced so as to provide the perfect amount of protection, without sacrificing comfort. I like the look as well as the intuitive design of the boots. Additionally, the built in finstrap holder makes them compatible with open heel dive fins. These dive boots have a zip that makes the boots easy to slip on and off.

The Mares Trilastic is the best diving boot for divers looking for outstanding protection at the sole of their boots. With a hard sole and vulcanized rubber on the toe and heel area, the Trilastic is perfect for sharp and gravel-like surfaces. Given the 5mm thickness the Mares Trilastic is best suited for colder climates, where the water temperature is colder than 12°C / 53.6°F.

The Cressi Minorca is made using super elastic, ultra durable nylon neoprene and rubber giving it a durable and aesthetically pleasing finish. Perfect for scuba diving in warmer climates like the Carribean, the soft rubber sole makes it ideal for any water sport. This dive boot is made to be ergonomic and comfortable to wear, all the while ensuring the diver is able to put it on and remove it with ease.

Offering very impressive levels of heel protection the Seac Pro HD are brilliant dive boots for professional divers in colder climates. With a 6mm thickness option and hard sole, the Seac Pro HD offers unparalleled protection against sharp coral and rock faces when entering and exiting the water for a dive. Additionally, the product designers took into consideration the comfort of the scuba diver and added a heel air bubble that helps to reduce stress when carrying heavier SCUBA gear

The Aqua Lung Superzip dive boots come in a range of sizes for any water temperature. The intuitively shaped footbed offers great comfort, while the hook and loop lock mechanism found at the zipper means that they will stay on your feet at all times. A point to note when ordering them online is that the shoe sizes run small so make sure to order a size bigger than what you normally get.

The Tilos TruFit dive boots come in a variety of thicknesses and levels of protection, to suit different diving conditions and preferences. The simple yet functional design of these boots offers great comfort, especially to divers with wider feet. The grip on the soles works well in and out of the water. These are fantastic dive boots for divers with any level of experience.

One of the best dive boots on the market is the Tusa Imprex. They give you a high level of protection, warmth and are really comfortable. The functional soles of these dive boots give enough stability and grip to make them perfect for shore entries. The Tusa Imprex is especially great for divers with high arches.

From Phantom Aquatics comes this exceptional 3mm dive boot. These boots fold in on themselves in order to take up less space in your luggage, making them very travel friendly. That said, the thin soles don’t offer the best protection and the 3mm thickness only provides warmth up to around 100ft / 30m. This dive boot provides a reliable budget option to some of the other dive boots on the market for warmth and protection in warmer climates and shallower depths.

The O’Neill Heat is a 3mm boot meant for warmer temperatures. It has quite a different and innovative design and look than most other dive boots. It can be a slight challenge to put them on but once your foot is in, the boot offers great comfort and support. The forefoot strap also offers the opportunity to tighten the boot around your lower shin, creating a comfortable fit around the lower leg.
