Re: Dummies guide to Spearfishing - Part I

I have a question about wet suits. Just read an article in an european magazine about wetsuites( ws) . They say there are wet suites that have the ability to ragain flotation more quickly as you ascend in the water column. They say wet suites with small "bubbles" in the wet suit material regain flotability more fast than wet suites with "big,more visible bubbles". I have noted a diference in my own wet suites. I have a vest and a shorthy ws. The vest makes me float almost as much as the shorthy ! (Both 3mm). I am interested in knowing how to diferentiate this caracteristics in ws because I think a ws that regains flotability faster helps for a better ascent. I like when I regain positive flotation and head fast to the surface without making to much efort
