THE BIG CHILL While video chatting via their room TVs, John, Jake, Nick and Will were chilling, literally. The temperature kept dropping. Even in their wetsuits, it was getting uncomfortable. Jake turned to John and said, “I think the air conditioner is broken. It’s cold even in my 4/3mm suit, glove...

One for the divers, or those that admire them. What's your favourite mask/air setup? Separate mask and regulator mouthpiece, full face mask with built in regulator, or a commercial diving helmet? Surface supply air, rebreather or conventional scuba? Hood or no hood? Appearancewise, I'm quite fond of...

Just curious to know how many wetsuits people actually own. I personally find that having too many means I won't be able to use them all! But at the same time depends on how often I wear them. If I'm on a beach holiday and going in the water everyday, I'd usually try to bring at least 2, depending o...

I've met someone who wears full latex 24/7 for a few days, takes a break, then puts on more latex again. He buys latex suits with bum and crotch zips so he can use the toilet. When he leaves the house, he puts normal clothes on top. He also has several smoothskin wetsuits. So I'm a bit surprised som...

ROOM FOR FUN Inside their rooms, the guests explored them. Each room was a cross between a hotel, hospital and prison. They had a basic bathroom, 2 beds, a desk, chairs, a TV with webcam and a private courtyard. The furniture was plastic or metal and the floor was vinyl for hygiene. There were windo...

A NOT SO WARM WELCOME The group made their way past the storeroom to the check in counters. They were staffed by navy divers, all of them in heavy rubber drysuits, thick rubber gloves, gumboots and diving helmets with hoses to rebreathers on their backs. Additional tubes and tanks can also be seen o...

THE STOREROOM John and Jason’s groups made their way out of the change room at the opposite end and saw a pleasant surprise. Behind a service counter was a huge storeroom with rows and rows of surplus and hand me down military and emergency services rubber gear. Gloves, boots, waders, wetsuits, drys...

I’m glad you liked the story. Here’s the next part. A HELPING HAND In the corner of the room were a group of costume actors donning various full body lycra or rubber costumes, like Spiderman, Venom, Alien, Spawn and Predator. One of them was clearly a latex fetishist. He was lubing up and contorting...

Some insight into how gooey rubber is transformed into wearable wetsuits at Billabong.

Unless you're new to wetsuits, you probably already know how to put one on. But can be fun to watch someone else do it if they shimmy and bend around.

A high tech wetsuit to protect against polluted oceans. Head to toe rubber with gloves, boots and mask! Looks like scifi, but is actually being developed.

“You are only allowed underwear, skintight lycra and rubber garments. Neoprene boots or gumboots are the only allowable footwear. At any time you are escorted outside your room, and you must wear boots, a gas mask and rubber gloves. Nudity is forbidden. These will be supplied to you if you do not ha...

Modern wetsuits are quite stretchy, and even the young guys at the local surf shop once said they can fit into kid size suits. But there is a warning. If it hurts or you feel numbness, discolouration, or suffocation, then STOP and take the suit off. Not worth cutting off circulation or squashing bod...

What's your opinions on wetsuit boots? Smoothskin, lined, round toe, split toe, heavy sole, thin sole or just socks? This one looks pretty chunky: https://jettydive.com.au/product/fourth-element-amphibian-wetsuit-boots/ https://jettydive.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/Fourth-Element-Amphibian-boo...
