Product Information

The TUSA DB-0101 Imprex Dive Boot is a 5.0 mm neoprene dive boot built with a nylon jersey lining and an injection molded sole for superior traction, made for divers who want secure footing on boat decks, shore entries, and rocky surfaces.

Who it is for

This boot suits divers who enter the water from boats, beaches, or rocky shorelines and want a snug neoprene boot under open-heel fins. The 5.0 mm thickness and nylon jersey construction give the feet superior comfort through long dive days. The injection molded sole adds grip for walking on wet decks or uneven entry points before and after the dive.

Key details

  • Material: 5.0 mm neoprene with a nylon jersey lining for comfort against the skin.
  • Sole: Injection molded sole engineered for super traction on wet and rocky surfaces.
  • Sizes: Available in US sizes 4 to 13.
  • Color: Black.

Compatibility and sizing

The Imprex DB-0101 is designed to be worn with open-heel fins and is offered in US sizes 4 through 13 in black. Try boots on with the dive socks you plan to wear and confirm your fin's foot pocket accommodates the added bulk of the boot before your first dive.

Frequently Asked Questions

What thickness of dive boots, gloves, or hood should I choose?

As a general rule, thicker neoprene insulates more, so colder water pushes you toward thicker accessories, but fit, dive length, and personal cold tolerance matter as much as the millimeter number. Divers commonly lose a great deal of heat through the head, so a hood is often the highest-value warmth upgrade for the money. Remember that every added piece of neoprene also adds buoyancy you will need to account for.

How should dive boots fit?

Boots should fit like a snug athletic shoe, with no heel lift and no crushed toes; a little water inside is normal, a sloshing pocket is not. Try them on with the socks you would actually dive, and remember your fin foot pocket has to accommodate the boot. Hard-sole boots protect on rocky shore entries, while soft-sole boots are lighter and pack smaller for boat and travel diving.

How should dive gloves fit?

Gloves should be snug across the palm with fingertips reaching the ends without bunching, since trapped air and loose fingertips destroy dexterity. Thicker gloves are warmer but make buckles, clips, and inflator buttons harder to operate, so choose the thinnest glove that keeps you comfortable in your conditions. Try working a clip or buckle while wearing them before you commit.

How should a dive hood fit?

A hood should seal around the face and neck without restricting your throat or jaw, and lie flat on your head without pulling the mask strap out of position. A loose hood flushes cold water continuously, while an overly tight one is distracting and uncomfortable. Many hoods have a vent to release air trapped during descent, so check yours and burp out any trapped air before you go down.

Why does new neoprene feel so tight?

New neoprene compresses and relaxes with use, so a boot, glove, or hood that feels firm out of the packaging usually settles slightly after a few dives. It should still be snug afterward rather than loose, because neoprene that stretches into a loose fit was probably oversized to begin with. Buy for a snug fit when new, but never for a fit that restricts circulation or breathing.

Do I need to change my weighting when I add a hood, gloves, and boots?

Yes, because every piece of neoprene you add is buoyancy, and a hood, boots, and thick gloves together can shift your weighting noticeably. Do a proper buoyancy check any time you change your exposure protection rather than assuming your usual weight still works. The weight-check procedure is covered in your training, and a dive professional can help you re-do it.

How do I care for dive boots, gloves, and hoods?

Rinse them inside and out in fresh water after every dive day, since they hold sweat and salt more than any other gear, and dry them fully inside-out before packing. Dry them out of direct sunlight and never on a heater, because heat hardens neoprene and weakens glued seams. Store them dry and unfolded, as damp neoprene sealed in a bag is how gear picks up a permanent smell.

What sizes does the TUSA DB-0101 Imprex dive boot come in?

The Imprex DB-0101 is available in US sizes 4 through 13, in black only. Since dive boots should fit snugly like an athletic shoe, try your size on with the dive socks you intend to wear and confirm it still fits comfortably inside your open-heel fin's foot pocket before buying.

Can the TUSA Imprex DB-0101 be used with open-heel fins?

Yes, this boot is designed to be worn with open-heel fins as part of a standard scuba setup. The 5.0 mm neoprene and nylon jersey lining fit under the fin's heel strap, and the injection molded sole adds traction for walking to and from the water.

How thick is the neoprene on the Imprex dive boot?

The DB-0101 Imprex uses 5.0 mm neoprene with a nylon jersey lining, which TUSA says gives the feet superior comfort.
