5 neoprene skins: a new warm-water wetsuit
Article Abstract:
An evaluation of five new warm-water wetsuits, six new beanies, three zippered vests, two hooded vests and four bibbed hoods is presented. ScubaPro's 0.5MM Steamer was rated with five stars and was adjudged as the best among the five new wetsuits. It was observed to be the driest wetsuit with the most stretch as well as having an adjustable collar. The five wetsuits are made of extremely thin layers of neoprene that make them very flexible while giving warmth to scuba divers.

How to buy a wetsuit
Article Abstract:
Several factors should be considered when selecting wetsuits. Wetsuits, for instance, should provide full coverage to protect arms and legs from the sun and scrapes. The style of the suit, whether one- or two-piece, will depend on individual needs. Charts can be consulted to determine the suggested suit thickness for different temperatures. The quality of neoprene can also be evaluated by squeezing, stretching and weighing a suit.
