H2Ice Drying Rack
H2Ice introduced at SCUBA Show 2005, Long Beach, the H2Ice Drying Rack, a unique and ultra-easy system for hanging and drying dive gear. The H2Ice Drying Rack was developed to decrease the time needed to dry dive gear, allowing divers to enjoy their dives and not worry about the wet gear that notoriously comes with multiple-day diving.

The H2Ice Drying Rack innovation comes with the high-powered DC blower that dries any wet sports gear in 5-6 hours including booties which never seem to dry. The blower pushes air through the system and out through individual pipes with holes drilled into them, each accommodating its own piece of gear including but not limited to wet suit booties, gloves, hood (integrated or separate) and wetsuit. There is also an option to add drying pipes for a dry suit.

The system assembles and disassembles in minutes and can be transported with an optional carrying case, so you can take it with you on a trip, or just store it in between dives.

The H2Ice Drying Rack uses DC power available from any cigarette socket located in a car, RV or boat. It can also be powered with the included DC/AC Converter allowing you to plug it into any available AC outlet.

The rack is available in two configurations, a single rack to accommodate a single set of gear, or for couples or families, a dual rack to hold two complete sets of gear. It is available inblue, black, grey, red, white and yellow.
