Differences between swimsuit and diving suit
Different styles and functions of swimwear and diving suit
The function of swimsuit is beautiful and drag reduction; The diving suit has more functions, heat preservation, protection and thicker fabric.
In order to be sexy and beautiful, swimwear is usually sleeveless or short sleeved. If you just swim at the seaside, play with water, or take some beautiful photos, just wear an ordinary bathing suit. Swimsuits are special clothes for swimming. Generally, they will not sink when immersed in water.
But diving and surfing clothes are mainly long sleeved. The main function of the diving suit is to prevent the body temperature from losing too fast during diving, resulting in temperature loss. Secondly, diving suits can also protect the body from being cut by reefs, as well as biological damage such as jellyfish anemones.
The most important thing to choose a diving suit is to fit. A diving suit that does not fit can not only prevent cold, but also can hold water when diving, affecting the action.
Under normal circumstances, no diving suit is required when the water temperature is above 27 ℃; Wear wet diving suit below 20 ℃; If the water temperature is below 10 ℃, you need to wear a dry submersible suit.
The speed of diving suit and swimsuit is different when swimming
Someone once compared the diving suit and swimsuit to see the difference in feeling. First of all, you should know that wearing a neoprene diving suit is the speed of swimming. The most obvious advantage of wearing a diving suit is to increase buoyancy. This is because the density of neoprene and gas trapped in neoprene is less than that generated by water. Therefore, when wearing a diving suit, it is easier to float. It usually improves the body position of the human body in the water, thus reducing the surface area of the human body in the water and the resistance in the water, This means that you can swim faster with a diving suit than without one.
If you want speed, it’s worth buying a professional diving suit. When swimming in colder water, buy thicker diving suits.
Diving suit in winter
The main function of diving suit is to keep warm when the water temperature is low, and you can also wear clothes inside.
They will use different thicknesses of neoprene, some of the same thickness, and use thicker neoprene around the hips to help adjust body posture. The diving suit worn by beginners is very different from that worn by senior swimmers.
The diving suit is composed of closed microporous rubber and two layers of synthetic fiber. The thickness varies from 1MM-6MM. There are many colors to choose from, and it is suitable for water temperature in different regions, latitudes and seasons.
