wetsuits

Snug diving attire

Wetsuits are close-fitting garments made of neoprene foam, worn for water activities in cold conditions.

The suit traps a thin layer of water against the skin, which body heat warms to provide insulation.

Wetsuits come in various thicknesses and coverage—from full suits for cold ocean diving to shorties for moderate temperatures: You'll want at least a 3mm wetsuit for these waters.
