Wetsuits Knowledge Base
Do you wear wetsuits when training for scuba in a pool? I am taking a scuba class this semester at my school. I'm older than the traditional students and definitely don't have the blond hair, stick thin, super tan body that I'm sure the rest of them do. I will probably just drop the class if this is going to be a baywatch episode. So I'm hoping we just wear wetsuits instead of itsybitsy bikinis. Anyone know?

What do you think of those floating wetsuits for kids? My 13 month old received one for his birthday--we will be swimming tomorrow and I was wondering if any parents out there had any thoughts on them. Do you think they help, or hinder?

Sunscreen works okay, but we take them boating quite frequently, so I'm looking for a better option. I'm looking for a rash guard type shirt or even a wetsuit type shirt to protect from my Weims from the sun. I'm not looking for a life jacket as much as sun protection. Sunscreen works well, but applying it often is a pain, so I am looking for a simpler solution. Anybody know any good retailers of these kinds of items? Wow, Cassie. Some life you must have to sit and answer questions that you have no intelligent answer for. Don't bother if you're gonna be a smart-ass.
Do most scuba divers pee in their wetsuits while diving? During my open water course, our instructors all told us that they sometimes pee in their wetsuits while diving. They said it's ok to do this in your own wetsuit, but not in hire suit. Do most divers pee in their wetsuits whilst diving? These things just aren't mentioned in the PADI books. Carl: people don't wear wetsuits in pools (exception: during first stage of Open Water training).

Where can I find a good deal on a WET SUIT? I'm considering buying a wet suit so I can swim year-round in the Jr. Olympic size pool in my townhouse complex. I've never swam in the winter before, because the water's too cold -- I have almost zero fat to insulate my body, plus overly cold water makes my asthma act up. But I really want to keep swimming, especially now that I've developed a nerve-related condition in my leg for which my doctor recommends swimming as one of the best remedies. (Meralgia paresthetica, which I'm sure you've never heard of! LOL) Anyhoo, if I had a wetsuit, the coldness of the winter pool and/or the winter weather would no longer be an issue. Or at least I hope it wouldn't. :) I'm in a bad way financially, so I can't afford to spend a lot of money. Can anyone recommend a place in the Bay Area (Northern California) that sells wetsuits at reasonable prices? I'd also be open to buying one online, but the place MUST allow exchanges, since according to the size charts, I'm kind of "between sizes".
Surfing wetsuits - what does 3/2mm mean? I was told I need a 2mm wetsuit but I only see them every listed as 3/2mm. Is there a connection here? If not, what size should I get for cold weather surfing (santa cruz, ca) Thanks!
What to pack for a week long surfing holiday? The company that organises it provides all the equipment - wetsuits, boards, etc. - practically everything. I have rough idea of what clothes to take. Obviously flip flops, shorts, toothbrush, razor would be a must. But what am I missing? I'd like to only go with hand luggage too, which in the current security climate does not go a long way, so only essentials, please.... Things that I would slap my forehead about when I get there, if you see what I mean.
surfing class at the Newport pier in southern california during the month of May? So I'm gonna take a 5session surfing class during May. It meets at the newport pier in the afternoon....surfboards are provided, but no wetsuits....although I wouldn't want to wear someone elses wetsuit anyways....so i was wondering the water temp would be enough to get away with a rashguard...cause rashguards are alot cheaper than wetsuits, and I really don't want to buy one just yet....so...rashguard okay?
