Skin Suits
Skin suits are thin, light, and flexible garments that protect the skin from sunburn, cuts, and stings.
Some dive locations are so warm that thermal protection isn't required. However, exposure suits offer several other benefits as well. They help prevent sunburn, protect your skin from stings, and in some cases, protect the skin against cuts and scrapes.
Skin suits are constructed from thin materials such as nylon and thin neoprene rubber. They provide little to no thermal protection, but are very effective at protecting your skin. For this reason, they are appropriate when the water temperature doesn't require thermal protection but you still want to wear skin protection.
