silly question about swimming shorts/trunks

[JackSpearo]

Does anyone know if there is a comfortable pair of swimming shorts you can wear on the beach, but yet also dive with?

I can't find anything comfortable...It's a silly question I know, but I thought there might be something out there...

thanks

My open water instructor wears speedos for comfort but personally, I wouldn't get caught dead in them.

Take a look at WildCard's avatar. I'm sure that would fit your specs...

Long licra bike shorts. No Speedos for me anymore!

I wear Speedos, but the shorts style. Not the man-panties. *shudder*

I don't know why they don't make "Navy Cut" swimsuits anymore. The things I see that are marketed as swim trunks, look like they would be more at home in the 1800's. Hrmph...

i'm asuming you want a pair that won't bunch up really badly in a wetsuit and feel comfortable.
I've worn board shorts and depending on the looseness they'll bunch pretty badly and feel like their cutting off circulation.

Now if you just want shorts to wear diving and on the beach... get shorts that have some lycra in them. If you wanna impress some of the ladies wear a lycra rash guard.q
