While we are talking about drysuit underwear and using polartec etc. I
have often dove wearing a full length 3mm wetsuit as undies...sometimes
with a polarfleeze jacket under a neoprene dry suit. It works well, but
is a bitch on a warm day since you get into the water wet from
perspiration...easy out is to wear polypro undies under the undies. The
real advantage is walking out onto the deck of the charter boat and
yanking people's chains when they ask you if you're gonna dive wet..."In
that!?" Another advantage is it's great after a dive to float around in
on the surface...enough thermal protection for swimming in these frozen
northern waters above the thermocline....july to september only!

And by the way, have not noticed great deal of difference in
buoyancy...or chilling with decompression although it must be
happening.
