Of course, you can wear a shorty, a full-length or even a body suit or bathing suit for diving. Just make sure it keeps you warm/cool enough and protects you from uncomfortable rubbing of your gear. It does matter where you are, though. In cold water, such as the North Sea, a dry suit is much more advisable. Your wetsuit would be fine for more comfortable climes.
What else can I help you with?
If you wear a thinner wetsuit while diving will it reduce your boyancy and can you wear less weights?
Yes. The thickness of the wetsuit most certainly factors into your buoyancy. Less neoprene equates to less lead. Cold water divers learn this quickly when vacationing south.
Is skin diving and free diving the same thing?
Free diving is diving without scuba. Skin diving means diving without a wetsuit or scuba. Since you can free dive without a wetsuit they can be the same thing but they are not necessarily always the same thing.
What is the sport of underwater swimming with flippers mask and a snorkel without a wetsuit?
Skin diving, or snorkeling.Improved answerThis is probably 'free diving' a sport in which people dive without the aid of Scuba equipment, people experienced at this often dive to great depths for extended periods of time holding their breath for several minutes.A matter of temperatureThe purpose of the mask and snorkel is to get you breathing while facing/looking downwards. This can be done in warm water without the need for a wetsuit. But if the water is cold, or you are going to snorkel for long periods of time, a neoprene wetsuit (approx. 5mm thick) or a neoprene shirt (1mm or less) is needed. However, the neoprene gives you buoyancy, and if you intend to dive deep, it will not help.
What is the sea diving suit called?
A wetsuit, a drysuit
What is a wetsuit and how does it help in water activities?
A wetsuit is a tight-fitting garment made of neoprene that helps keep the body warm in cold water by trapping a thin layer of water between the suit and the skin. This layer of water acts as insulation, preventing heat loss and allowing the wearer to stay comfortable and safe during water activities like surfing, diving, and swimming in cold conditions.
What is the difference between a diving wetsuit and a surfing wetsuit?
in one of the them you are wet and in the other one you are dry honest... it's that simple. a wetsuit is (usually) made of neoprene and allows a limited amount of water into the suit. that is why you want a good fitting wetsuit, because you do NOT want a lot of water moving in and out of the suit, just a little. this small amount of water (debateably) warms up and helps the insulation properties of the wetsuit a drysuit is just that. you are COMPLETELY dry for the duration of your dive. it is therefor also much more complex in construction to complete this herculean task of keeping all water out of the suit from neck seals, to arm seals and such. ps: it is easy to weeWee in wetsuit, you need to have all kinds of special apparatus to weeWee in a drysuit.
What is the equipment you will need to go diving in Antarctica?
Standard diving equipement, with the use of a drysuit instead of a wetsuit. A battery operated suit heater would be optional.
Can scuba diving ruin a tri wetsuit?
Possibly as the tri-wetsuit might not be designed to swim in salt water though I'd be surprised if salt water was harder on the suit than chlorinated water
What are some basic diving accessories?

When was the first diving suit made?

What sports require the use of a wetsuit?
Wetsuits can be used in a variety of sports and activities. These include; diving, deep sea diving, surfing, body surfing, windsurfing, canoeing, white water rafting, and many other water sports.
When would the thickest neoprene be used?
The thickest neoprene is typically used for applications requiring extra insulation and buoyancy, such as in diving wetsuits for cold water or industrial insulation for extreme temperatures. The thickness of neoprene also provides additional durability and protection in harsh environments.
