Wearing a wetsuit for the first time is always going to be a bit of an odd experience to begin with. However, I must recommend that you try out different layers as you start to explore dives and sites.
It’s worth taking into account reviews and what other divers have to say. However, it is more important, in my opinion, that you look for the best wetsuit for your needs in the first instance. This might mean a little bit of trial and error on your part, but do make sure to shop around carefully before you put any money behind a firm choice.
The right wetsuit for you is going to be one which you can freely move around in, and what’s more, it should be one that you can comfortably layer up if you need or want to. A wet suit is not made to be uncomfortable – it’s made to give you protection in the water, and as all divers’ needs are likely to be slightly different, it makes sense that they are always going to be very flexible.
Do you have any preferences as far as your own wetsuit is concerned? What do you choose to wear beneath your wetsuit when you go diving or swimming in the deep?
Be sure to leave a reply to my guide below, and let’s share a few ideas. Always remember that diving is a learning experience, and that goes for working out what you’re going to wear as much as where you’d like to dive! Wear something that’s comfortable and easy to get in and out of.
