Take a trip under the sea. The Skeleton Diver Neck Gaiter features the same signature artwork as our long sleeve — a skeleton diver gliding over a coral reef, dive flag trailing above and roses blooming below.

GRATEFUL DEAD MEETS GRATEFUL DIVER
Grateful Diver was created in 1995 when Grateful Dead co-founder and drummer Bill Kreutzmann, an avid diver, had the inspiration to design a Grateful Diver logo by placing the iconic Grateful Dead lightning bolt on a red dive flag. This iconic logo has raised money for marine conservation for almost 30 years.
