Clean, functional gear for people who love spending time at sea.
I'm Cindy, a freedive instructor and spearfisher, and a former firefighter-paramedic. I spend most of my life in the water, and I make the gear I couldn't find. Ocean Glide started 26 years ago, when I kept trying product after product and could never find one I loved. Petroleum-based. Mostly water in a plastic bottle. Or so heavily fragranced they made me nauseous. Some left my skin covered in rashes. So I made the one I wanted: a dry powder made from seaweed and a mild plant-derived cleanser, activated with a splash of water. No petrochemicals. No fragrance. No filler.
Why we are here...
Keep making gear that's clean, that works, and that we use ourselves. And keep using the ocean to help people connect with nature and themselves, through skills, expeditions, and real time in the water. For people who take the ocean seriously and want to spend more of their life in it.
