Question: Do you scuba dive in a CLOSED CELL wetsuit or OPEN CELL wetsuit? Can you elaborate why? If you dive both closed and open cell suits which do you prefer?
CLOSED CELL are "double-lined" neoprene wetsuits with a protective fabric exterior and a fully lined FABRIC INTERIOR. The fabric varies from nylon, synthetic fleece or some other material. More often than not, these are one piece suits.
OPEN CELL are "single-lined" neoprene wetsuits with a protective fabric exterior and a raw NEOPRENE INTERIOR (no lining). Open cell suits are typically two piece. Open cell suits can be raw neoprene inside and out too.
Disclaimer: If you only dive a drysuit, swimsuit, birthday suit, Sharkskin, Thermocline, monkey suit, rash guard or anything other than a NEOPRENE wetsuit this poll does not apply to you, so your non-participation is greatly appreciated. If you still have an issue with the poll having only two choices please dial 4 to contact the Complaints Department.
