A quality wetsuit is the alpha and omega for any diver. Without it, you simply won’t venture into cooler waters, and even in warmer ones, you won’t last long. It’s about much more than comfort – proper thermal protection affects your performance and safety.
Neoprene thickness is chosen based on water temperature and dive duration. In tropical waters, two millimeters is often sufficient, while in our waters you’ll need at least five, often more. Make sure the suit fits snugly – gaps mean heat loss and reduced mobility.
Two-piece suits offer greater flexibility and easier donning, while one-piece suits provide better thermal insulation. Neoprene quality and seam construction determine longevity – a cheap suit might tear on your first sharp movement.
Don’t forget accessories. Neoprene gloves, booties, and hoods can significantly extend your time underwater. Properly chosen accessories will make you a true diver capable of handling challenging conditions.
