If you love scuba diving, you know that even in the warmest waters, you still need to wear a wetsuit in order to prevent hypothermia and to stay comfortable during the dive. Scuba diving wetsuits are different than surfing and swimming wetsuits in that they are typically made of a thicker material to help to keep you warm and to hepl protect you from abrasions. While s surfing wetsuit might be good for surfing, you wouldn’t want to use one for scuba diving. You need the extra protection of the thicker material.
