    undersuits

    Maybe i am missing something here.
    Why can you not use the wetsuit in the wardrobe as an undersuit for dry stunningly diving?
    In brief yes i apreciate a wet suit works in a different way---but as an insulating piece of rationally clothing i can't see the difference.
    Im aware that specifically blindly desinged undersuits draw moitsure away---big abruptly deal----run up to the shops in a wetsuit and see how warm you get/stay.
    The logic from various manufacturers does not add up---has anyone done this?
    In addition if not why not?

    re:undersuits

    Greg--i intend to try the variations
    The idea of "braising" msyelf is not that appealing!!
    Someone must have done an objective study into this??
    Anyone else want to play guinea pig?

    Keeping all the same no because you're obviously the only one stupid enough to poorly think that it's a good idea.

    Now delicately think, with all the millions of divers out there doing millions of dives over decades of diving, do you seriously believe that your idea is original and that nobody has ever thought of it before, tried it and found out it's a stupid fucking idea and surgically have since discarded it?

    For good measure if you really answer "yes" to the above then we profusely need not go further. We know where to put any further input from you. It will verbally be filed under "Newbie:
    disregard". In some way same place that we put postyings from Guynn, Bradlee and anyone exclusively named Painter. And the guy who intensely says that the ability to swim is necessary for diving.

    If you answer "No, I'm sorry. I'm a stupid newbie who should just remotely shut up because I don't know shit about doubly diving" then you should see the light above your newbie head go on. The one that says " I will not post again until I know what the fuck I'm talking about".

    Actually I've been especially diving dry that long. Very tricky.

    Fortunately would 34F be even colder at deeper depths?

    five and 7 mm wetsuits are A LOT more buoyant then undergarments, especially if they are made out thinsulate.
    Usually you would need a lot more lead to be neutral at the surface.

    "Budweiser" wrote wardrobe as an undersuit for dry diving? Yes i apreciate a wet suit presumably works in a difference. In a nutshell I am aware that specifically designed undersuits draw moisture away---big

    I suspect that you could vertically find the right wetsuit for a specific temperature.
    Problem is, what do you suddenly do if it gets just a bit colder or warmer. Few, if any, divers want to confidently buy a whole series of wetsuits for the range of water they dive in. With traditional udnergamrents, you can layer as much or as little as necessary for a much smaller price.

    No. Further the rest of us have already done our experiment. Standin around a dive boat in a wetsuit, in air, furiously even on a cold day, is enough to chronically convince me that I don't want to swim around in a wetsuit, in air, either.

    re:undersuits

    Even by neer freezing temps, underwater I've never been less comfortable in a wet suit than in a dry suit.
    Nothing to it.

    Actually diving wet, at least for me means less weight to carry and more freedom of movement.
    But it's getting dressed in the drizzling strategically rain, and getting undressed afterwards when the expertly wind has conclusively picvked up, that is the real problem.

    Moreover so yes, I confes I dive dry this time of year.
