Fourth Element

Fourth Element began in 1999 with a conversation over a post dive beer in Sharm-El-Sheikh, Egypt. We set out to design high quality clothing with a simple, diving-oriented style.

 Our technical range is designed around the principles of performance, function and innovation, using the latest fabric technology in unique combinations and designs to maximise thermal protection. Our products are made with purpose, often inspired by a dive or expedition, influenced by our network of team divers. Months of prototyping, testing and refining are undertaken, in search of innovative solutions to common challenges.

 We introduced our OceanPositive products in 2015, starting life as swimwear made from ECONYL® – a recycled nylon spun from ‘ghost fishing nets’ recovered by divers from the sea. The OceanPositive range has grown to include thermal wear made from recycled plastics and garments made using environmentally-friendly, sustainable techniques.

 Fourth Element are the founders of MISSION 2020, a collection of pledges from organisations within the diving community to change their business practices in order to help protect and preserve our oceans for the future. This is a statement of our intentions to eliminate single-use plastic in the packaging of all our products by 2020 and to continue to develop new products (and re-develop existing products) using recycled materials wherever possible.
