Open cell neoprene is very porous and does not have an inner protective liner. This makes it stick to skin and to the untrained diver, difficult to put on. Fortunately there is a simple solution for getting into an open cell suit more easily. Literally. Make a solution of gentle (or tear free) soap and warm water and use it to lube up the inside open cell neoprene before entering. We recommend using baby soap in roughly a 1:15 ratio with warm water. Once the mixture is made, take the suit bottoms and hold close all openings except one. Pour the solution in the remaining open hole. Close it and shake until the soap & water mix has coated the inside completely. The soap solution can now be drained or used on the second, upper half of the suit. The suit bottom should now slide on easily. Repeat these steps for the suit top and dive safe!
