Agree with Kevin. Not sure why you asked the question initially but if the plan is to spend all day in neoprene in the tropics, I would seriously consider rash guard guard or skin instead. You will be a lot more comfortable.
Thank you for replying!

John,
Welcome to Scubaboard from another midwesterner!
As others have posted upthread, a wetsuit blocks the sun from reaching the areas it covers. On the other hand, in very general terms, wet suits are not comfortable to wear on the surface. The exception would be where the surface conditions are cold and wet.
I typically wear a one-piece rashguard during surface intervals on warm, sunny days. I'm wearing one in my profile photo. It blocks the sun while allowing some air movement. Usually I also wear a hat, and use sunscreen on the backs of my hands. In cooler weather I'll layer something over my rashguard, or switch to a shirt and pants.
Where does one get a men's one piece rash guard? Google isn't a lot of help.
Amazon has a good number of them.Where does one get a men's one piece rash guard? Google isn't a lot of help.
