Wetsuits Empower My New Passion

Posted on Friday, February 26th, 2010 at 9:41 am

Recently I’ve decided to buy a wetsuit. I went on a scuba trip and have become taken up with it. I wholly dig the experience of being down in the water with the fish. I’m still a bit nervous about the sharks but that is only something that can be overcome with experience.

I’m partial to buying a quiksilver wetsuit. They came highly recommended by the instructor and the guides on the trips I went on. Now that I think of it that was the most common wetsuit worn from what I can recall. There must be something to them.

I hear there are wetsuits containing merino wool and titanium threads. These suits are meant to help retain more body heat. I understand that wool is great at keeping you warm even when wet but I am skeptical about the validity of using titanium. I imagine they are also are also more expensive than a plain neoprene wetsuit. I really dig the thought of the extra warmth. Not being a big fan of the cold every little bit helps.

So my quest starts to find cheap wetsuits at a wetsuit sale. The thing is to work out what size is going to be the right fit. I’d hate to get one and then find out that it rubs me raw at 100 meters. Now that would suck. I can imagine that there is only so much you can determine before hand and the only true test is to get 1 and get diving.
