Wetsuit/Skin Buoyancy

[Kareem_D]

If i wear a 2 mm highwaist bottom and a rashgaurd/skin for my top, will it cause buoyancy problems since my legs will get a lot of buoyancy from the wetsuit and my top will stay the same due to the skin?

Will it make a noticeable difference in my posture underwater, such as my legs gradually moving upwards?

Cheers

It could affect you abit, especialy as the legs tend to float up or sway around when holding onto reef or trying to stay flat over the reef.
It also depends on your body (your physique) e.g. lean muscle mass and you will be most of the time negatively buoyont, alot of fat tissue and you will be positively buoyont.
So that effects how bouyont you would be with the added neopreme.
Some people need weights with a 1mm and some can go straight down and stay down with 1mm suit and no weights.

Hope this helps.
