Hello from the Pacific

[AquaDez]

Greetings all. I am new here about to go through my PADI Open Water Cert class next weekend. Any advice for the new fish? I'm watching the first video now and trying to be as prepared as I can be. Hopefully I take to water like the fishes...

Hey guys, I was wondering your thoughts on this item to wear under the rental wetsuit?

body suit

Does it make it easier to get the wetsuit on and off?

just get a skin

Hi and welcome to the site>>>>>>>>>>...........about your question if you think wearing it makes you comfortable so wear it .........always wear your gears and other think before dive make sure you always feel comfortable ....in this way you will enjoy you dive other wise your dive would be a mess................

Welcome, and good luck with the Open Water class--you'll do fine. The very fact that you have discovered Scubaboard puts you ahead of others. I wish these resources had existed back when I got into diving. Before taking OW, my entire exposure to diving came from watching Jacques Cousteau and old Sea Hunt episodes.

Thanks all. The only thing I keep thinking is that I hope that I do not get out there and the soundtrack to Jaws stars playing in my head. LoL

Welcome aboard...and hopefully to the underwater world!!!!

Please feel free to drop on down to our local forum and join in our fun here: SoCal

Wear what is comfortable and keep you from getting too cold...... most of the year, I dive with a "skin 1mm" top under a 7mm full suit with 5mm hood, gloves, & boots....but everyone handles cold water differently.

Hope to see you in the water someday soon.
