- Putting on a wetsuit when you are wet...sucks
- All wetsuits are warm when you are out of the water
- Lycra socks are you friend
- You need to "flush" your wetsuit before you descend
Wetsuits should go on dry
When wearing a wetsuit, its material tends to cling to your skin, making it challenging to slide on or off easily. To address this, I personally recommend wearing a rash guard underneath. These layers not only provide minimal extra warmth but also help the wetsuit glide more smoothly over your hips and shoulders during both wear and removal.Once I'm in my wetsuit, I avoid taking it off for any reason until I've completed my dive day. Removing a wet wetsuit can be even more challenging than putting on a dry one. To manage overheating, I unzip the top, fold it down, tuck the arms into the waist, and wear it in this manner for cooling off.
The unlock code for getting into a wetsuit is lycra socks
Buy yourself some lycra socks. They make a world of difference getting the leg of your wetsuit around the heel of your foot. They also are great when removing your wetsuit.If you want a bit of extra warmth you can get yourself some 3mm socks which will do similar work.
