I see most reviews are from surfers, is this wetsuit good for scuba diving?

No its probably way too thin for that. I just use it for kayaking in California during the fall and winter months its perfect for me but you likely need a 5/4 at least. Hope this helps out some

Yes, I use mine equally as much for diving and surfing. I am a tech diver and have used this suit in a variety of water conditions, ocean, bays, and river. I must have used this suit over 100 times last year between surfing and diving. It doesnt have any signs of breaking down on me at this point. It's great for the price. Hope this helpsbtw, I live in Florida and i wouldnt use this suit to dive in the winter. You may want something thicker depending on where you are.

I bought this for scuba diving but It could be used for just about anything. If you use the waterproof housing do NOT expect to get any usable audio from it. the waterproof housing blocks out all noise from getting to the microphone. Also worth mentioning, the camera does not do well with swift movements. It is glitchy and spotty video if you move the camera point of view around much. It is nice for the money, but I will be upgrading to a GoPro HD soon.

Well, I'm not an advanced swimmer, so I'm not entirely sure, but the shirt is lightweight and the material is good - like a compression shirt, but not thick. I think you could swim laps in it, as surfers wear these when wading out into the ocean. It makes for a good athletic shirt, as well, as I even wore this in the class before my swim class to run a mile for a test. I didn't overheat, and it felt cool and my arms could move freely as I ran.

Not really. A dedicated dive camera is better .. this one's depth rating is pretty shallow. 40f ~10 meters or so .. Most scuba activity is 10-30 meters (or more)

I am not sure what % but it is flexible and I would think a good suit for water aerobics...I thought of using it for the same but so far have only used in the ocean. It is probably the right thickness because when you go to higher, say 2mm and 3mm the suits are generally less flexible with increasing thickness. This one is nice and thin and I use it in the summer when the water is between ~68-72F for surfing, skin diving, and boogey boarding. I like to be warm and also prevent sunburn so this works well. If I get cold the next time I am in the indoor pool, this is the suit I would use - not a 2 or 3mm suit.

It has a water rating of 5 ATM, which is equivalent to what we called 50 meter water resistance a decade or two ago. So while I wouldn't take this scuba diving or wakeboarding, it will be just fine in the rain.

Chart was accurate for shoe size. Personally i would go to a dive shop if i was diving daily. It is a great set for the price and i would not be afraid to even do a tech dive with that equipment. If i was diving daily i would spend a little more and get sea vision mask and tusa flippers. If you are just snorkeling for oysters and such definite buy. I say med or large.

It was a gift and the recipient has yet to swim with it, but that was a big selling point for me since it would be used in triathlon. According to all of the specs it is rated for water, I just wouldn't use it is you're a scuba diver.

It is waterproof, but probably not to any depth for diving. You should choose a diving flashlight.

I usually wear a size 10 or so, and I got a Large wetsuit. It is hard to get on, harder to get off wet..I use it in a pool. Maybe it should fit tighter, but this is easier for me to get on and off (even with the zipper in front).

I use it for surfing only, good suit at a good value. Size may run on the small side.

I use it for playing disc golf in heavy rain. It's a real waterproof rain suit, not a lightweight water resistant type suit.

This is a good mask, but everybody's face is different. If you have tried Cressi Masks in the past and they fit well I'd say you will be fine with this one. If you're not familiar with masks in general you should go to a dive shop and try on a few. They will help you get the right fit.

I'm not sure, I only used it for snorkeling and it had a very good fit and seal.

Yes! This would definitely be a better (and lighter) choice for a triathlon, rather than a wetsuit! Good luck!

i used it for scuba diving, so even though there is no time limit, it was rarely in the water more than an hour at a time anyway, but some friends borrowed it for surfing and snorkeling. There was no problem. It's robust!

I wear mine for kayaking and getting in the water with temperatures in the low 40's. I live in VA. I love the suit, just takes time to break it in with the right fit. You might be able got with a 3mm and 2mm sleeves. For the price I could not beat it.I hope this helped.
