A new way to dress for tropical diving
Article Abstract:
Wetsuits that use 0.5 mm neoprene layers have recently been introduced in the market. These new suits feel like Lycra but do not allow water to flow through them as what happens in suits made with the latter material. They are so thin that divers do not feel that they are wearing one. They are also very stretchy such that divers can put them on or take them off while standing. They are also form-fitting and hug divers' bodies without forming wrinkles that pump seawater. They are so lightweight with buoyancies ranging from one to two pounds.
