Hi all!!!
Finally got a dive in with the new gear as my wife and I are getting back into the sport. I did notice something that was quite odd and was hoping that maybe some of you could help
My new wet suit fits pretty snug throughout my body (O'neil) and because it's tight around my ankles I wear the booties over the wet suit. When I arrived at the surface and looked down. It looks like my calves had collected a lot of water, it looked like little balloons around my calves of water. Granted it was warm, but I was wondering if this added water was slowing me down, making me breath harder, wasting air. Wondering if I should try wearing the wet suit above the booties vs the opposite. Booties are EVO zipper ups.
Any advice would be great! Thanks
