When choosing a new neoprene suit for water athletes, the question often arises as to what thickness of neoprene suit to choose. Divers and freedivers get a long stay in the water, so choosing the right thickness of a neoprene suit is important to prevent freezing (hypothermia). The best way to get information is to ask your diving instructor for advice, as he helps many divers to dress up every day before the lessons.
Various diving equipment manufacturers, such as Aqualung, Cressi and Sopras Sub, offer 1mm / 3mm / 5mm / 7mm thick neoprene suits for divers and freedivers. We also offer Dry Suit, diving suits in which the diver does not stay in contact with water, especially in cold conditions it is convenient to dive in 0-10 C degree cold water.
