Whether you are diving in summer or winter in UK waters, you must buy a high-quality wetsuit. Don't be cheap, we assure you - you will regret it and end up spending more money to fix the mistakes.
During the summer months, most divers find that a 5mm wetsuit keeps them comfortable. If you're one of those colder divers, you can pick up those extra items from your closet to add a little extra warmth - a baselayer or hood, something like that.
The problem is that not all 5mm suits are created equal. You can buy products designed for surface water sports like triathlons and surfing. These suits tend to be cheaper than suits designed for diving. They are designed for flexibility rather than warmth. Think about those activities, right? They're high energy and you stay warm by moving around. Diving is the complete opposite. We want to be friendly, calm, and relaxed. We don't want to move around too much. So our suits have to be built differently. They're designed for warmth, not movement, and their design features tend to make them more expensive - but we promise, the extra investment is totally worth it!
