Harvey Wetsuits – this is another pioneer wetsuit company that has been around for quite some time. It was founed by Harvey Grohs some 50 years ago when he He opened his own dive shop in West Seattle and started building wet & dry suits. His wetsuits were and are used by US Navy Seals. Harveys wetsuit was also used in James Bond’s famous “Goldfinger” underwater chase scenes and by Jacques Cousteau’s TV special “Octopus, Octopus”. They also make USGC Approved Exposure Suits. When they started making them Harvey tested them in his home swimming pool by filling up the pool with truckloads of ice to simulate figid artic waters. If you want to find out more about the colorful life of Harvey Groh check out his book titled “The Cold Warrior”.

Did Harvey’s go out of business? The link to their website doesn’t work.
Not sure, but yes, the page is not working
Did you ever find out if they’re still in business or not? I’m looking for their 3-finger dive mitts and can’t find any info on them. It’s too bad, they made the best cold water gloves.
No, I did not, sorry.
Unfortunately Harveys is out of business. They were a long time manufacture of dive suits in the Pacific Northwest. Its really a pity. I had a buddy who went to their headquarters and was sized up for a custom wetsuit with an outer layer of tough material. Its an amazing suit. My first drysuit was a Harveys aquacapsule.
Thank you for the info. So sad to see such a quality company go under.
My late stepson bought a Harvey’s suit Style PSSNT 282, size C/S and passed away before it was used. I have no idea what to do with it and since Harvey’s is no longer in business, can’t get any information that I can provide to sell it. Does anybody have any suggestions?? Thanks!!

Father and Son team. Custom wetsuits. Expensive because of quality and they get Japanese foam which is more flexible. Long wait time since foam is shipped from Japan BUT Im fat and my custom 3 mil suit fits like butter. They make thicker mm too. Close to $ 1000 for my suit. But well worth it. Call them.
