Elastic, durable and tight-fitting like a second skin, diving is suitable for sports, casual and even for evening wear.
What is diving knitwear and what is its composition
Diving is a modern type of knitwear made mainly from artificial and synthetic fibers. Initially, diving was used for the manufacture of sportswear, including diving suits, hence its name. In the future, with the advent of new varieties of this material, underwear began to be sewn from diving, including corrective, body, leggings, swimwear, casual and other clothes.
Polyester or rayon may predominate in the composition of the diving, and about 5% elastane (also known as spandex) is necessarily present. A small proportion of cotton fibers (usually up to 10%) is possible. Diving stretches well, in width is better than in length. For the ability to perfectly fit the body, it is also called "second skin knitwear."

Varieties of diving
Diving can vary not only in composition, but also in density, thickness, and finish.
* Microdiving is the thinnest, most plastic variety.
* Crepe diving - a canvas with a more or less textured, but silky surface, made using crepe (strong) twist fibers.
* Diving flock - a lightweight canvas with a textured pattern.
* Tight diving - accordingly, the most dense material, may have a fleecy inside out.
Microdiving / Crepe Diving
Diving Flock / Heavy Diving
The front side of the diving can have a matte or bright shine, be textured (in the case of crepe diving), include a metallized thread. The wrong side may correspond to the face or differ - both in texture and color. For example, crepe diving can be with a dressing or a metallic thread on the front side and smooth from the inside. Diving, both dense and thin, can combine smooth front and fleecy seamy sides.
