Hi folks, I only go diving a handful of times every year, so I haven't invested in a wetsuit yet; I just use rentals from whatever shop I'm diving with. Unfortunately, most shops in Hawaii and Thailand and so on only have farmer johns or shorties, and I'm always FREEZING! In fact, I'm always cold whenever I'm in water, diving or not. I was wearing a 3mm shortie just swimming and snorkeling on the beach in Hawaii this past new years and I was decently comfortable....while everyone else was wearing nothing but a swimsuit. Any ideas on a good layering piece or two I can wear under a rental wetsuit that I can also wear at the beach and not look like a dork?
My past experience with "rashguards" made out of some sort of synthetic has been mixed...on one hand, it works decently well when submerged. On the other, as soon as you come to the surface, any sort of wind instantly chills you straight to your core, due to the evaporative cooling.
