Is there an easy way to put on a 7mm wet suit?

Pull. Tug. Pull. Tug. Piss and moan. Zip.

Someone should have told Jacques Cousteau when they went to the Britannic in 400 feet, that you can’t scuba dive in a wetsuit, you need a BCD and you can’t swim with the loss of buoyancy. You have to have a drysuit.

If you buy a good quality freedive suit, and use suit lube, it is not a struggle to put on or take off. It will take a minute or two to prepare the suit by properly distributing lube over the entire interior of the suit, but after that, there is no struggle or pulling.

If you have never used suit lube on a wetsuit that has a smooth rubber lining, you will be VERY pleasantly surprised how much easier the whole process is. No shopping bags, no lycra suits, no socks and no zippers are needed.

Freedive suits with an integrated hood and no zippers eliminate close to 100% of any leakage of water into or out of the suit.

We offer 3, 5, and 7 mm suits for men and women.

Here's a video about how to put on a freedive suit.

Cheap conditioner, lard, ky jelly... Or the spewings of the annoited of scubaboard. Any at the above will make you glide effortlessly into the warm, wet confines of your 7mm.

If you choose the spewings of scubaboard members, remember to rinse prior to enrolling in fundies.

If there’s a way to make it easy, I haven’t yet found it.
Last time, I had a skin on and put the wetsuit on over it. Easier, but neglected the feet. Not fun. Next time I’ll try some socks.

Does anyone know what the white spheres behind their heads were for?

I imagine they some sort of trim assistance or maybe buoyancy for when they take them off to get into the chamber

Fixed buoyancy, they had to swim down and swim up, but the weren’t sinking like a stone to the bottom in 400 feet with a wet suit, and when they took off triple tanks they weren’t shooting to the surface. They were properly weighted and suited up. Something sadly missing in scuba today.
There’s also a knack to getting into a wetsuit without zipper.

Go and buy yourself a good 3mm one piece suit. Get a thin chicken vest, and a 3mm step in shorty.
