Spearfishing wetsuits are a must-have for any serious spearfisher. They offer protection from the elements, prevent cuts and scrapes on coral and rocks, and can even provide buoyancy assistance in deeper dives. But how do you get into a spearfishing wetsuit?
The first step is to choose the right size. Make sure to measure your chest and waist to get an accurate size. Once you have the right size wetsuit, it’s time to get ready to put it on.
Start by turning the wetsuit inside out and lay it flat on the ground. Step into the legs of the suit one at a time and pull them up to your waist. Next, slip your arms into the sleeves of the suit and pull them up to your shoulders. If you have difficulty reaching all the way, tie a rope around either arm of the suit and use that as leverage to pull yourself in further.
Once you’ve got both arms in, zip up the back of the suit using a zipper or velcro closure system. Make sure not to over-tighten it – this could cause constriction or discomfort while diving.
Additional Tips:
- Start with your feet first – this will help keep everything in place as you slip into the rest of the suit.
- If possible, get someone else to help put on or take off your wetsuit – this will make it much easier!
- Make sure there are no gaps between your body and the neoprene material – this could lead to cold water entering through those areas.
Once you’ve got all zipped up and fitted properly, it’s time for a practice dive! Spearfishing wetsuits provide added protection from marine life as well as insulation from cold water temperatures, so make sure you take full advantage of them when out spearfishing. With proper care and maintenance, your spearfishing wetsuit should last for many years.
Conclusion:
Getting into a spearfishing wetsuit can be tricky but with patience and practice anyone can become an expert at getting into their gear quickly and efficiently. Make sure to measure yourself correctly before buying a wetsuit, start with your feet first when putting it on, ask someone else for help if necessary, zip up snugly but not too tight and take full advantage of its benefit when out fishing!
