I have several of these by other manufacturers. This is my first OceanQuest skin. Using it both for diving and sun protection when snorkeling. On the plus side the stitching is very good, I would say it is double stitched, and the zipper is very sturdy. It is a little bit heavier than my other skins giving you a little more protection. This also makes it a bit bulky but in the water there is no discernible difference. I dont think you can beat the quality of this item for the price. Very satisfied. Note: I am an experienced diver. I live in the Caribbean and dive a couple times a week.

Reviewer: Phillip Kelley,
Easy to order, came quickly and was just as advertised. I tried it on and it fit just fine too. I havent had a chance to use it yet, but it felt great and I am very pleased with suit and how quickly it arrived. Highly recommend it to divers but also other water aficianados.

Reviewer: Edward C Lee, - View all my reviews
I bought this to slip on in the morning for a day of diving to make it easy to get into and don my wetsuit. I can just keep on the lycra, or unzip it to the waist for moving about the boat. It dries immediately and allows sipping back into a wet wetsuit easily.

Reviewer: Elizabeth S.,
Bought this suit after returning 2 other from other sites. I get cold easily and I just wanted a skin that was easy to pull on and off to wear under my 3 mil. You would thing that would be easy - but its not! This one is perfect. Now aim ready to bubble up again and be warm and comfortable. Im likely to wear it for snorkel trips too when its Jelly season.

I like your products. This isnt the first time Ive ordered from you guys. The first dive skin I ordersed was very tight. This skin was less tight I think the size was a little off. But I still like the product. I ordered a medium but could have gotten away with a small. Thanks for your products.

While we only dive in warm waters, we still would like to have a little protection from the small jellyfish. This dive skin fits the bill and more. Very comfortable and durable. This is my second in five years, while the other is still in fine condition, I wanted a different color. Thanks.

Reviewer: Amy Klein, - View all my reviews
i needed something to wear in warm waters to keep from getting stung by coral or things floating. but this suit...it fit so well, it was so comfortable, it was so amazing not to need sun screen because its got built into fabric-i have been buying them as gifts for all my friends who swim or run at the beach or snorkel! and then...as a diver would expect...it fits great under a thicker wetsuit.

Rating: what a huge surprisewhat a bargain!
Reviewer: Amy Klein, - View all my reviews
i just returned from diving in palau. i knew i wanted to be covered-so that i wouldnt get too burned and so that i wouldnt risk getting scratched if i brushed the coral (hard as i might try not to touch it). for this price...i really thought the dive skin would be ugly and pooly made. i could not have been more wrong! it fit really well (just go with the sizing for your waist). it was easy on and off every day. i still looks like new..after several dives daily for several days. it dried quickly. and today, its washed up great as well! now, i cant imagine why im always spending so much on swim suits! this is a total bargain.

Reviewer: Michael H., - View all my reviews
the order was processed lightening fast plus free delivery! four hours after placing the order online i received an e-mail that it was shipped. i checked tracking and it was in transit early the next day. cant ask for anything better.
i like the oceanquest lycra dive skin jumpsuit because of the front zipper. a major problem with many scuba exposure suits is being too tight around my neck. the front zipper allows me to keep it open a couple of inches at the neck so it doesnt feel too tight. im a tweener since the sizing guidelines said the medium is kinda small and the large is kinda big. too big and we defeat the purpose of the base layer so i got the medium. its really a second skin and a few lbs. heavier and a few inches taller and i would not have been able to get into it. the quality is good, the seams are rugged and its super comfortable. it provides no warmth - purely exposure protection which is fine in warmer weather it protects my skin without getting overheated. dries quickly. under my drysuit up here in the northeast i can add other layers depending on the water temperatures.

Reviewer: Randy K.,
My daughter is a Girl Scout Cadet that sailboats on a beautiful lake in Ala. Since the water is just a bit cool these days (Oct) I bought her this skin suit. She loves it, it fits just right by following the sizing directions. I would say if not sure in that regard, go the next size up. After her trip she reported it was nice but just not warm enough. So, when they advertize warm water use, they mean it. However, here in the N Fl Gulf we have a bit warmer water. I would say by season this skin suit is good here for late spring, summer, early fall.
In addition, I am thinking of buying one for myself and son. We wade fish the Gulf and encounter small stinging jellyfish. In conclusion, the skin suit is not a dive suit but for all purposes in warmer climates it cant be beat for price. BTW, Scuba.com sent it quickly and securely. They are where I will buy all my diving eq.

marcia:
looking for a lycra skin for a plus size woman sz 16 (1x) What size should I consider?
Bob (Certified Scuba Instructor at Scuba.com)
:
Unfortunately scuba equipment sizing (especially wetsuits and skins) and fashion sizing usually don''t follow the same mindset when it comes to fit. Using the sizing chart use your waist and bust measurements as your two most important measurements. You want a suit to fit around your torso correctly first, then use your height as a secondary measurement. That should help you get a little bit closer to finding the correct suit.
Cheri:
Hi, :) I would like to know if the sizing on this dive skin is true to the chart?? And, is this for Wemon or Men? Thanks for your help!
Greg (Certified Scuba Instructor at Scuba.com)
:
The sizing is true to the chart.
David:
The size XS states that it is for people 55" to 57" and 120 lbs. I am 52" and 110, would the XS still be considerably too large, or do you think that it would work well for me?
Darrick (Certified Scuba Instructor at Scuba.com)
:
Hello David, when you are sizing a suit like this. The two most important measurements are going to be your chest and waist. Height is a secondary measurement and weight you throw out the window. If you would like to place an order or have any other questions please feel free to give us a call at 1.800.347.2822.

Hello Terry, yes we ship all over the world. You would use our Amazon checkout.
Re:
I am 56 and 160 lbs. Would a medium be the correct size?
Bob (Certified Scuba Instructor at Scuba.com)
:
Your waist and chest measurements are always going to be the 2 most important measurments when selecting a suit off of a sizing chart. After that, height is the next most important. Your age and weight will have little to no bearing on the suit sizing.
Kate:
i am looking for a suit for water aerobics how will the suit hold up to chlorine treated pool water?
Bill (Certified Scuba Instructor at Scuba.com)
:
This will work in the pool but chlorine does damage the material after period of time. As long as you rinse the suit with fresh water each time after use it will help maintain the suit.

JORGE:
Dear Sr
I wonder if this dive skin has a certain degree of stretch like neoprene, to a greater or lesser degree?.
I ask this because my measurements are between two sizes (XL/2XL) Im close to 2XL according to the table and my question is choosing between the lesser or greater. My height is 510 "and greater size for 61" / 63 "is much difference in height.
Wrinkles under a wetsuit is not good.
Thank you very much for your attention
Jorge
Darrick (Certified Scuba Instructor at Scuba.com)

Hello JORGE, yes this item will stretch. If your in between sizes then you can go down a size and it will contour around your body better and give you a better fit.
