Frequently Asked Questions

What thickness wetsuit do I need?

3mm for warm water (75F+), 5mm for temperate (65-75F), 7mm or semi-dry for cold (below 65F). Most US diving is 5mm territory. Caribbean and Hawaii can be 3mm.

How should a wetsuit fit?

Snug everywhere with no gaps at neck, wrists, or ankles. You should be able to move freely but not see loose fabric. It will feel tight initially but stretch slightly when wet.

One-piece or two-piece wetsuit?

One-piece is standard for scuba - minimal water entry points. Two-piece offers versatility (wear just the top in warm water) but costs more and has a seam at the waist.
