Non-buoyant swimsuits

[nikho_mo]

I would like to know if non-buoyant swimsuits exist.

I heard that swimsuits are buoyant because there are some small bubbles of air inside the material which give it its buoyancy and its thermal protection. Do swimsuits without these bubbles exist?

Thanx a lot for ur answers.

Do you mean swimsuits or wetsuits? Wetsuits are buoyant because of small bubbles of air in the material. The only neutral buoyancy wetsuit I know of is the Fourth Element Thermocline Explorer, discussed in this thread...

Thanks a lot for your answer.
You told in the quoted post that this suit is a bit expensive.
How much does it cost?

Glad I could help.
It is about £120 for the basic suit, and £60 for the long sleeved top, which goes on top of the suit, so there are two layers on the chest and back.
