For UK diving you may still want to vary the thickness of your gear, depending on the water temperature, but for footwear, thicker is better than thinner as it will get a rougher time than most of your suit. I would say 3mm at least.

What is SCUBA health insurance?
Scuba health insurance is the insurance that protects you while you are scuba diving if you need any health procedures because of your diving. For example, if you were to get the bends from scuba diving, or if your lung were to rupture from holding your breath, this scuba insurance would cover it. Since paying for these procedures are very expensive "out of pocket," this means that you might not get the treatment unless you have this, or at least you could not pay it off.

No, you don't need a certain body type to scuba dive. Because you use flippers to SCUBA dive, you can be a very lousy swimmer and learn to SCUBA dive. You may look stupid with a very tight wet suit during scuba diving, but you can dive. When I got certified, I learned that you have a very slightly higher chance of the Bends during scuba diving, but this is a small percentage. The pros of scuba diving outweigh the cons.

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.
Why cant there just be one person diving?
