Body Skins or Lycra Skins And Scuba Suits

 

 

When going away for a diving trip, never ever forget to bring along your exposure suits or scuba suits. It you are going to somewhere where the water is very warm, then a lightweight one-piece full body suit will do just fine. These diving suits are also known as body skins or Lycra-skins. Body skins are highly elastic since they are made from nylon with added Lycra. It is important that you do not put them on places with strong sunlight as they are known to deteriorate rapidly. Lycra body suits comes with stirrups at the ankles to prevent your legs from riding up and loops that slip around the thumbs to keep the arms in place. Body skins are important because it gives you total freedom of movement when you scuba dive in warm water and most scuba divers will use this in warm waters.
