Has anyone used these for caribbean scuba diving? This seems like it could be a better alternative to a shortie for warm (75-80 deg) water scuba.

I wore this at an indoor pool where the water was slightly warmer (85). The air temp was cool. I get cold easily, and I found the cool water made it's way up my back and became chilly if I wasn't doing something vigorous. The shortie I have bought since is a better choice for me. I think you may have to take in account how warm you are on a regular basis (I rarely feel the heat), and how vigorously you will be exercising.

Unlike the LifeProof brand case, this case is only rated for brief and shallow submersion. The reason I went with this case over the LifeProof was the numerous complaints that the sound quality of that case was terrible. Even with the LifeProof you would only be good for 6ft for an hour. If you really are looking to go scuba diving with your phone, I would recommend a dedicated scuba case. They are a bit pricey but are good down to over 100ft and offer the option of adding light filters you will want for quality underwater photos.

I i was you, i wouldn't be scuba diving at 125 ft or 40 meters, never mind 60 meters. You need to think about how much pressure your in.

I think if you are a strong, fast swimmer they may come loose..... This could be remedied by using goggles to secure them, or a swimming cap. I do a fast side stroke and I haven't had any problem with them coming off while swimming. I also do a slow- medium freestyle and I haven't had a problem with them. I love them....for the price, give them a try. You could always use them for relaxing pool time or work-outs...

not gonna lie, i was pretty disappointed in the results of these. granted, they did work well for specific reasons. for example.. i was skin diving.. so up and down.. the result was some cool water shots.. and some really really red everything else shots. when i took it off, the result was much nicer and realistic looking. if you plan to exclusively be under and looking down then it will probably be a nice add on.. as for size, I assume so. its a piece of plastic. if it doesnt fit, cut it to size.

Jose has a point, but thermal isn't for laps. I have a variety of wetsuits including a plain neoprene short suit with long sleeves and a sleeveless 3/4" terry lined suit for California Deep Diving. This shirt you want is perfect for laps, so what if it is ALSO UV protection, it keeps drops of water off your arms as you lift them from the pool so cold air doesn't hit your wet arms, thus you stay warm. UV is a bonus but not your focus. Treat yourself, O'Neill has a great reputation !!

NeoSport XSPAN shorts for me are worn with a 0.5 mm long sleeve top. I wear them for warm water SCUBA. What's to reveal? They fit almost like a second skin! Are you serious?

We do not scuba but we snuba dive at about 20 ft down and have never had any problems. We each have one and have had them for over a year. Living in Florida they get alot of use.

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)

Hi Julie, this is a fantastic swim mask, but it would be terrible for snorkeling. I completly agree with the other answers.Good luck.

For underwater, I thought they were pretty good shots. We used ours in Puerto Morales, so same vicinity as Cozumel. If you want to contact me at dasjman@yahoo.com, I can send you a couple images I took this past June while snorkeling, if it helps you decide. Obviously, the more expensive cameras take better pictures, but for the price, I was very satisfied with it.

Hi I'm not sure what's the problem but do you have enough hose to it? I have Diver Dan an he works fantanstic. Are you using this in an above ground pool or in ground? I have a 24x 52 above ground? Have you checked to see if it has any sticks or leaves inside of the whale? Let me know also if you have your hoses wound in circles might be the problem they are suppose to be memory hoses an not to be wound up? Hope this helps.

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.

Good question. I only have used them out side of the water. They fit very snuggly. If I was home now I would test it for you but I am at work. Sorry I could not be of further assistance.

Depends how it fits, I wear a 12/14 and it was too snug across the bust. I use to have a Henderson (15+ years ago) wore it in the lap pool till warm,and while helping scuba classes and use to use it over a dive skin to add core warmth in Caribbean, can't find another with a full zipper,

I've read other reviews claiming that the strap broke for them as well. (It seemed the strap was made of very nice, soft rubber, so it's a shame!) I would suggest contacting the seller/producer. I returned my pair of Ispeed goggles, since they leaked and visibility under water was blurred. I replaced them with a Speedo Air Seal XR, which seems much better aligned to my narrow face. The best fit I've got so far, however, is from a Speedo Vanquisher 2.0.

I bought a 6-6x for my daughter who is around 45 lbs. If I were you, I'd buy a 4T, so there is some room to move (and grow). Unlike adult wet suits for scuba diving, you don't want this one super tight. Incidentally, my daughter is still a little cold in this wet suit, just because it's so cold outside. But she is much happier at swim class now!
