I am just back from diving in Cozumel. I dove 3 times a day and can tell you that a Lycra Skin (no neoprene) was an absolute necessity!
Why? The jellyfish and fire coral.
What would have been better then my Speedo tank or Lands'End D-cup suit? A Tankini.
Why? Bathroom needs on a boat.

Also a lycra suit for sun protection or else I would have fried my skin off!
P.S. I know you shouldn't touch the coral, but there was always someone who came up from going through the canyons and "caves" with fire coral stings.

Star,
I'm on my way to Cozumel in a few weeks. Who did you dive with? How about a dive report. I've been there several times, and never had any of the problems you say you saw there. Is it because of the storms this time of year?

The sun index was 10+ every day we were there. I burn easily and even with SPF 30 have a heavy tan on my face and arms (I kept my legs better undercover).
My husband, particularly his ears, got a brunt of sun and he had to purchase a hat. He tried to keep lotion on them, but needed the hat.
The jellyfish may have been a result of the Tropical Storm that had gone through the week before. I had no stings, but one woman in our party (who only wore a t-shirt over her suit) had stings everywhere.
The fire coral usually effected people who were taking photos.

I saw this thread and I had a quick read and I never considered a dive skin before.
When diving, I hate wearing all in one costumes so I where bikinis....however, I also have experienced a few embarrassing moments myself where you pull down a bit more than perhaps intended....I think one of my next purchases will have to be a dive skin.
An unexpected thank you to you all -x-

I just love it when the "guys" join in in a thread like this don't you?
When diving wet (aka neoprene) I always use a skin.I had one made for me by a local sportwear place ($70 Cdn) as I have long arms and legs, and nothing in the local diveshops fit. Makes life sooooo much easier. Not only getting the neoprene on and off, but also proctects you from the sideshows.
