If its an all guy boat, than no problem. You can change without any fuss. If it's a mixed boat than it becomes a pain to change. They do make neoprene dive shorts that make it really easy to get your wetsuit off and on if that is the problem.

When I am shore diving with my wetsuit, I will sometimes go commando.

If I'm on a boat(especially one with no bathroom), or wearing a rental for some reason, I wear speedo shorts:

They are very comfortable and I was greatful I did on my last trip.
I went to Maui and on one of the boat dives, I was having a little "attack" and had to go very bad. I ended up doffing my wetsuit and taking a little swim down the drift. If I had to wear the wetsuit out, it would have been pretty difficult.

Can you put a fly on a wet suit?
This would fix the "pee in the wet suit" problem

Is there a problem with peeing in the wet suit?

Hemlon,

Thank you,

Some one has to tell the story and preserve history and preserve it correctly, so darn much of I think, I believe, I have been told, I guess.....

Read your bio, every thing you do I have are am doing...Life is a banquet, don't starve! SDM

Beach dive: no wetsuit
Boat dive: wetsuit

This seems to be a question that pops up every few months, so checking past threads will give you a wide range of ideas on what to wear and where to buy whatever you decide. The threads usually degenerate into a discussion of men's swim fashion.

Keep in mind that changing out of a wetsuit in California without an undergarment of some type is considered indecent exposure which, if convicted of that offense, will get you a place on the web-based sex offender registry, which may be as good a reason as I have ever heard for wearing something.

But when you come right down to it, its a matter of personal choice.

Indecent exposure = automatic sex offender registry entry?? Now thats HARSH!
I was considering mentioning that some places enforce severe FINES for being nude on a "non nude beach" but dahmn..

I think you should wear a shirt and tie under your wetsuit.

you asked for it....Here's Bill, my dive buddy for a lot of the week in Little Cayman last month......I shot this pic the last day of our stay--Friday the 13th...(July 13,

2007)--- notice he even had a tie clasp on........lol........

Sure, he is wearing a tie, but is he wearing Panties?

I'll have to admit I do not wear panties under my wetsuit. Of course, I don't wear them any other time either.


I wear a swimsuit under my wetsuit and underwear under my pants (on land). Anything else would be uncivilized.
