Wetsuits Empower My New Passion

After a recent trip I’ve decided to buy a wetsuit. I went on a scuba diving trip and have become preoccupied with it. I wholly love the feeling of being down in the water with the fish. I’m still a bit nervous about the sharks but that will only be mastered with experience.

I’m inclined to getting a billabong wetsuit. They came highly regarded 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 remember. 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 bit of warmth counts.

So my quest commences to find cheap wetsuits at a wetsuit sale. The trick is to work out what sizing 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 bite. I can imagine that there is only so much you can decide before hand and the only true test is to get 1 and get diving.
