Wearing a wetsuit is generally something you want to avoid when scuba diving since you want full range of movement. Unfortunately, not all of us can live in the warm waters of the Caribbean. We have no choice on the matter, so finding the perfect wetsuit is critical to getting the most out of your dives.
The first thing to understand about wetsuits is a maddening fact. The companies producing the suits do not use the same exact sizes. This means you need to refer to the sizing chart each company puts out. Without it, you are just flying in the dark. Since trying on wetsuits takes a bit of effort, you really want to make it as simple as possible by using the directions in the sizing chart. Yes, this is inherently against the genetic makeup of all men!
The second step is to go for the right fit. The goal here is to have a snug fit all over. It may be restricting and even a bit uncomfortable out of the water, but the bouncy in the ocean will free things up. Loose wetsuits should be avoided like the plague. They let water in and, in cold currents, that can be a real constant adrenaline rush. On the other hand, you want to avoid wetsuits that look like they are painted on. You'll be uncomfortable and your movement will be restricted to the point you will look more like a cork bobbing in the water than a diver.
