Scuba diving drysuits can be split into two main types; Membrane and Neoprene, the main difference being how you control your level of insulation. Membrane Vs Neoprene Membrane drysuits are very light weight but have very little insulation by themselves so they have to be paired with an undersuit. If you are diving in colder waters you will require a thicker undersuit to trap more insulating air next to your body. Membrane drysuits are easier to repair because of their simple construction but can be more vulnerable to damage because they are very thin. Neoprene drysuits have their own thermal properties, keeping you warm even without an undersuit. Due to the thicker material the effect of suit squeeze is minimised, reducing any pinching. Neoprene drysuits can withstand more abuse because of their thicker materials but can feel more cumbersome
