"How do you choose a wet suit is by actually thickness. So for example this is a three millimeter in the mid-section two in the legs and the arms. You have to really think about water temperature when you actually choose a wet suit. Some other things that are important to look at when you're buying a wet suit is the types of seals that they put on the wet suit. So this seal is actually kind of one of the less expensive seals. Some of the other suits actually have what's called a gusseted seal which is actually going to keep the water in the suit better. The type of neoprene is important when you're actually selecting a suit, this is actually, O'Neill uses this neoprene called gooey neoprene so it's actually a lot stretchier than a standard neoprene which is this. The type of kneepad also affects the price of the wet suit. This is actually a much better kneepad than just a real basic kneepad like this one. Now this is a new suit that's just come out. And this suit they actually glue the seams and what that prevents is water moving in and out of the suit so it's actually going to keep you quite a bit warmer. This is a five mill suit for colder temperatures, we can dive up to seven mill is one of the thicker suits that we could use to go diving."
