Wetsuits
Wetsuits are made of a flexible and soft material called neoprene, which allows a very thin layer of water between your skin and the suit. Made of a light material such as neoprene, the wetsuit actually does let a little water into the suit. The water is allowed to circulate between the speedo online skin of the diver and the inside layer. As a result, the trapped water gradually warms up to body temperature and can help keep the diver comfortable during the diving process. While the wetsuit does need to be form fitting, it is important that it not be too tight. This allows the warmed water to remain in place for the duration of the dive, especially important in recreational scuba diving, as the material will compress somewhat as the diver goes deeper. This water quickly warms up and the insulation provided by the neoprene keeps you warm. Of course, it is important that as little water as possible enters the suit and is not being constantly replaced by cold water flushing through i.e. the ingress of new water and loss of the warmed water. This is why cheap wetsuits are tailored to fit so tightly all over the body – a loose wetsuit simply won’t work.
