I have a question! What is the difference between dive skins and rash guards?
Diveskins tend to be a thin neoprene or lycra all body suit where a rash guard is normally more of a lycra shirt worn by young men and women that have no gut.
So that leaves me out of the rash guard category.
 
Based on my experience, rash guards are so your chest hairs don't stick to your surfboard wax. After you turn 40 and you get too fat to float on your surf board and diving is your new extreme sport you wear a dive skin.
 
And Skins are available insulated if you don't have enough already.
