Worldwide, there are a few places where – in the right season – the water is warm enough for you to comfortably make a dive in just a swimsuit. But for the rest of the world, and the rest of the time, a suit adds warmth and makes it possible for you to dive all day in comfort.
The earliest wetsuits were constructed of neoprene that was lined with nylon on one side only, and was difficult to put on and relatively fragile, tearing easily. Divers also found that the needle holes made when sewing the suit would allow cold water to leak in throughout the dive, diminishing the suit’s effectiveness.
Today’s wetsuits are made of high-quality and rugged materials specifically developed for the diving industry, and seams are either taped to prevent leakage, or formed with a welding process that eliminates sewing entirely. A variety of linings provide comfort and warmth, and suits are easy to put on and take off, and constructed to cushion and work well with scuba gear.
