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.

I'm not a big swimmer, however, it is really moisturizing so I would assume that it would be good for that.

Hi, This is not a wetsuit, but I was comfortable wearing it in VERY cold water on a beach weekend. I think it did help me meet my daughter's challenge to get in and catch some waves with her. So, yes/no. It helps, but there are other products made for swimming/surfing in coldest temps. Eileen

They are.............but since they are neoprene and have sewed seams, they won't last long. Personally, having owned three drysuits and multiple wetsuits, I wouldn't do that.

i used it for scuba diving, so even though there is no time limit, it was rarely in the water more than an hour at a time anyway, but some friends borrowed it for surfing and snorkeling. There was no problem. It's robust!

I'm not sure, I only used it for snorkeling and it had a very good fit and seal.

This is NOT a wet suit (or dry suit) jacket. When you first hit the water it makes you maybe a bit colder for a few seconds, but then helps you be warmer. What it does best is keeps your shoulders from being cold. I use it for Water Aerobics, where we are in 10' of 78-84 degree pool water with flotation belts (remember, ocean water feels warmer at lower temps than does fresh water). We are upright with our shoulders out of the water. Will it keep you warm in water below 76 or so? NO.

I think 'water resistant' is the proper description. I would not take it into the bathtub with me. There is a rubberized plug provided with the Boom that covers the jack and usb port. I assume it protects them from entry of moisture but again, I haven't triedd to drown the thing and wouldn't advise testing the limits. It's not for scuba diving, but I think it will survive an afternoon by the pool, on wet grass, or in a light rain.

I used this snorkel set in Kona on the big island and had no trouble with them. We also went out on the Body Glove tour boat, and they worked well for that. I think that people have too high expectations for this set. It's not a set you'd use with tanks. I had no trouble in twenty-five feet of water, on a nice day, and was able to dive down about Fifteen feet. I think I could have gone deeper if I could have held my breath longer. They are a little big for kids. My daughter had trouble with her mask leaking.

I wore it in the ocean. It's a nice suit. Snorkle three times last week in it. Good bang for your buck.

I bought this for scuba diving but It could be used for just about anything. If you use the waterproof housing do NOT expect to get any usable audio from it. the waterproof housing blocks out all noise from getting to the microphone. Also worth mentioning, the camera does not do well with swift movements. It is glitchy and spotty video if you move the camera point of view around much. It is nice for the money, but I will be upgrading to a GoPro HD soon.

Not sure if you think it will stay dry. I don't think so. I bought these for my husband and myself, we wear it alone in warm water diving. Under our heavier suit in cold water diving. It helps to get the thicker/heavier wetsuits on. But I don't think it stays completely dry. Just an under layer. Hope this helps you. Deb

It was a gift and the recipient has yet to swim with it, but that was a big selling point for me since it would be used in triathlon. According to all of the specs it is rated for water, I just wouldn't use it is you're a scuba diver.

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.

I bought this model for my wife how is 4'11" and around 106 lbs. It seems to fit her well. Best bet is to go to a dive shop and try on their suits. You may have to result to trial and error.

All of the documentation I have found online states water resistant.Which usually means as long as you aren't diving with it you should be ok. My concern though would be the optical sensor on the back used for measuring heart rate. I personally would not swim with it on.

I feel like it would be flexible enough to surf in...I didn't feel particularly restricted while swimming or snorkeling. I also wore the suit all day on the boat and didn't have any problems. It was a great buy!
