Do you wear boots with drysuit?

What do you wear under a drysuit?

Even though dry suits seal out water, it is possible to get wet from your perspiration or a leak; so as with other outdoor sports, the best types of clothing to wear under a dry suit are clothes made from materials that insulate even when wet. This includes polypropylene, pile fleece, wool, etc., but not cotton.

How much does a drysuit cost?

A dry suit will be one of your largest investments as diver. You can get into a decent entry level suit for around $1500 (USD).

What should I look for in a drysuit?

Fit is crucial when selecting your drysuit.
