I see most reviews are from surfers, is this wetsuit good for scuba diving?

No its probably way too thin for that. I just use it for kayaking in California during the fall and winter months its perfect for me but you likely need a 5/4 at least. Hope this helps out some

Yes, I use mine equally as much for diving and surfing. I am a tech diver and have used this suit in a variety of water conditions, ocean, bays, and river. I must have used this suit over 100 times last year between surfing and diving. It doesnt have any signs of breaking down on me at this point. It's great for the price. Hope this helpsbtw, I live in Florida and i wouldnt use this suit to dive in the winter. You may want something thicker depending on where you are.

Hi Julie, this is a fantastic swim mask, but it would be terrible for snorkeling. I completly agree with the other answers.Good luck.

I am not sure what % but it is flexible and I would think a good suit for water aerobics...I thought of using it for the same but so far have only used in the ocean. It is probably the right thickness because when you go to higher, say 2mm and 3mm the suits are generally less flexible with increasing thickness. This one is nice and thin and I use it in the summer when the water is between ~68-72F for surfing, skin diving, and boogey boarding. I like to be warm and also prevent sunburn so this works well. If I get cold the next time I am in the indoor pool, this is the suit I would use - not a 2 or 3mm suit.

Well, I'm not an advanced swimmer, so I'm not entirely sure, but the shirt is lightweight and the material is good - like a compression shirt, but not thick. I think you could swim laps in it, as surfers wear these when wading out into the ocean. It makes for a good athletic shirt, as well, as I even wore this in the class before my swim class to run a mile for a test. I didn't overheat, and it felt cool and my arms could move freely as I ran.

They claim that is. I've never used it underwater. On YouTube there' are videos that show mixed results.

Yes, I bought it for that purpose specifically. Suit offers good flexibility; I wouldn't buy anything greater than 3mm for surfing.Hope this helps!

No - it's a "dry" suit - solid. Wet suits "breathe" as they allow water to pass through. I wear sweats when wearing dry suits to keep suit from sticking to me and provide a layer of insulation. I only use it in cold weather, so really no sweating going on for me.

I bought it for snorkeling in Cozumel in March. The water was about 75. It was great for that. The neck was a little loose but that was fine for what I needed it for.

I think they call them "water resistant", but unless you are going scuba diving with these they will be what you need. Trudged through several miles of deep snow post holing all the way and the layers under the gaiter were still dry.

Yes, it's great for scuba.You need to use the rugged waterproof case.It is IPX8-rated down to 100M.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hAeKP0_-qJw

That suit should be perfect, my 5 year old wore his earlier this year in 60 degree and cooler water, he is in a short arm short leg suit now that the water is upper 60s I've surfed my entire life in RI and have had lots if suits, this is a great suit for the price

The suit is fairly stretchy, and easier to swim in than a full suit. I haven't really tried to swim many laps with it on, although I have worn it in the pool and swum a few laps. It wouldn't be my first choice to swim laps with a wet suit on, but once you're in the water, this suit is comfortable.

It was a true fit for me (normally a XL or 1X in ladies due to chest and got a XL). Of course, you want a wetsuit to be a little snug. I use it for kayaking, and it has good flexibility. I love that I can unzip it if I get too warm. I'm 5'1" and pair it with the crop pant separate, and get a nice fit.

Yes but if you try to dive down deep enough to have to equalize (10+ft), you most likely will blow out the valve in the mask as I did on mine. This set should be strictly used for surface snorkeling and NOT scuba!

I've been using it for scuba in Florida and it works. I didn't want one that would float so I got this one. It's not designed for water but works great. You just have to remember to let it dry in a cool dry area. The size was great for me also.

Not really. A dedicated dive camera is better .. this one's depth rating is pretty shallow. 40f ~10 meters or so .. Most scuba activity is 10-30 meters (or more)

I used this camera for both SCUBA and snorkling in seawater without any problems. I did rinse the outside with fresh water when I finished, just as I would with my dive gear. I believe this is one of the best price/feature cameras for its price range.
