I wear board shorts over the "bike short" type of trunks. Then when it is time to change into the wetsuit I lose the board shorts. Why not get him a pair of both? Form and function...

Now someone's thinking...good idea Raposarose.
 
AmyJ:
Anyway, I found these 'jammer' swimsuits that look a lot like bike shorts, but are made for swimming.... so maybe that would be a way to go.. but I am still interested in ideas and opinions! Thanks
I already had a jammer due to my kids being on the swim team and there was a price break if we got one more suit -- so I got one, too.

It works well under both a 5/3 full wetsuit or a 6.5 Farmer John+Jacket. It even works all by itself for the pool dives!

Since I've never used any other suit or shorts for diving, I can't give you a comparison, but a jammer works for me.

I stared with regular swim trunks or board shorts. They do tend to bunch up a bunch in a wet suit. I just last month switched to speedos. I would not be caught dead wearing these things but for diving they are ok. The only show for a few seconds anyway when I take off my pants and put on my suit and take of the suit and put on my pants.
 
Speedo type here (although I don't look quite as good in them as I used to :D ) What are "jammers". I go to dive not be watched, if people don;t like what I'm wearing, don't look.

Think a "Speedo" with legs covered to mid thigh like bike shorts.

Why wear anything? I guess I have been surfing for so many years, I just let it all hang out. Never have any problems with material bunching up :wink: I just would rather not worry about it.

your mileage may vary

Cause I'm shy.... :blush:

May I suggest a shell-type drysuit, then? That way, you you ain't gonna need take off anything but your shoes :wink: Also, imagine how much faster you can get to the bar sipping martinis after the dive, if you keep your tux on under the drysuit :wink:

Personally, I go commando in a wetsuit. If fellow divers are sensitive, they're free to look somewhere else while I change :wink:
