Ok but really, the followup questions are "what lipstick stays on underwater" and "what hairstyle looks the cutest underwater". If looking good is your main concern...find a new activity.
 
As a recovering DM I would say skip the bikini and go with a one pc swimsuit. I've seen several women pull their tops off trying to get out of a wetsuit. Not that I've complained about it :)

I don't think anyone said looking good was their primary concern, and I don't see anything wrong with trying to look good unless it impedes safety, comfort or performance.

If you're trying to squish your boobs into a gel bathing suit and then pull on a wetsuit and then get said wetsuit off without looking the top....it impedes comfort.

Wear a normal bathing suit to dive, at least a normal bikini if not a one piece suit. It's much more comfortable and convenient. The more ties, loops, frills etc you have on under a wetsuit the less comfortable you are going to be. The knot on the back bumps into the tank and leaves a bruise, the bottoms come off when you pull the suit off, the top tie leaves a rash around your neck, and the whole top shifts underwater. It's really just not worth it. wear the simplest suit you have.

This may be one of the most random posts on scubaboard ever... haha. +1 for the OP's honest about her, er, chest size.

Doc, would it be "off topic" for someone to note how much you appear to to be . . . um, especially well suited :eyebrow: . . . to moderate a forum on gel suits?
 
Can only agree with those that advised to watch out for "wardrobe malfunctions". This just happened to me the other day and I was wearing a tankini (not a bikini).
 
Am I the first to think this is a Troll post?
 
No I can't. YMMV
