Does Maldives need to bring jellyfish clothes? What diving suit should Maldives take when traveling?

Look here, friends who are going to Dr. Mar to prepare for diving. First of all, Xiaobian wants to remind everyone to pay attention to safety when diving in Maldives, followed by diving. At the seaside, everyone definitely wants to wear beautiful swimsuits, but in fact, swimsuits may not be very safe. Do you want to take a jellyfish suit in Maldives?

According to the feedback from most guests who have been snorkeling in Maldives, it is recommended that you take a jellyfish suit. Snorkeling in Maldives is basically in the coral area, and it is easy to get hurt, not only hands and feet, but also the body. Moreover, jellyfish clothing has a good sunscreen effect, which is better than wearing various brands of sunscreen. Some people want to rent jellyfish clothes on the island, but not all islands provide jellyfish clothes for rent, and some of them will be more expensive. In addition, sometimes the size is not good and they are not comfortable to wear. If you bring it with you, it is sanitary and the size is suitable for you. The difference between a jellyfish suit and a diving suit

Diving suit:

Because the underwater temperature is low, it is often necessary to wear a thick diving suit, which is made of fabric such as nylon or polyester, and the interlayer is neoprene (also known as diving material), with a thickness of 1mm, 1.5mm, 2mm, 3mm and 5 mm. The material itself is waterproof, but water will flow from cuffs, necklines and other places. In low-temperature waters (such as 1℃), it will still be cold if you wear wet clothes, so you need to wear dry diving suits. The cuffs and necklines are completely sealed and will not enter the water. Therefore, it is generally recommended to wear a diving suit in the case of deep diving.

diving suits are mainly divided into dry diving suits and wet diving suits

(1) Thermal insulation: wet diving suits use a layer of water to help keep the body insulated, while dry diving suits use a layer of air and are completely sealed to prevent water from entering and contacting the skin. The latter has an advantage here, because water travels more than 2 times faster than air.

(2) Fluidity: Because of their tight fit, wet diving suits can usually move quickly and comfortably underwater more easily. Depending on the materials used, dry diving suits are easier to carry and may cause some resistance when moving underwater. This means that you may end up much slower than wearing a wet diving suit.

(3) Life: Because of its complex structure, they can work in various environments, so traditionally, dry diving suits are more expensive than wet diving suits. Thirdly, even the most expensive dry diving suit can actually be more cost-effective than the high-quality wet diving suit, because the former can last more than 15 years with proper care and maintenance.

Jellyfish clothing:

Snorkeling is a leisure activity. The threshold is very low and the water temperature is usually high, so you don't need to wear a diving suit to keep warm. However, because the sun is too hot and the snorkeling time is a little longer in these places, sunscreen doesn't work, so you need to wear a diving suit to protect yourself from the sun. This kind of diving suit for snorkeling is often made of nylon Lycra (good elasticity and comfort) or polyester Lycra (less elasticity and comfort, good wear resistance), and its thickness is similar to that of ordinary swimsuits. Some good brands also add sunscreen additives, with a sunscreen index of 5+. In addition to sun protection, diving suits also have the functions of preventing marine life such as mother and being scratched by rocks. This kind of thin diving suit for snorkeling, also known as jellyfish suit, long-sleeved bathing suit, sun-proof bathing suit, snorkeling sun-proof bathing suit, sun-proof diving suit, etc., is actually the same thing.

Jellyfish clothing is also a kind of diving suit, which generally has the function of helping diving and sun protection. Simple diving suits generally require a high thickness (above 3mm), which provides divers with certain buoyancy and keeps their body temperature from dropping too fast. The jellyfish suit has a comprehensive function, the thickness is generally .5~2mm, and it can also provide divers with certain buoyancy, and at the same time keep the body temperature from dropping too fast, of course, the effect is not as good as that of a simple diving suit. Jellyfish clothing has the advantages of being convenient to put on and take off, and having good sun protection and sting prevention effects, which is especially suitable for beginners to dive. Because of their tight fit, wet diving suits can usually move quickly and comfortably underwater more easily. Depending on the materials used, dry diving suits are easier to carry and may cause some resistance when moving underwater. This means that you may end up much slower than wearing a wet diving suit.

In addition, there are differences between split and conjoined jellyfish clothing, short sleeves and long sleeves. The conjoined waist will not be exposed, and the protection effect will be better. However, when coming out of the sea, the whole body is wet and inconvenient to put on and take off. There is a risk of sunburn when the waist is washed up by water, but it is very convenient to put on and take off, and it will not appear abrupt when you go to the beach to play and wear it. Long-sleeved jellyfish clothes are definitely better than short-sleeved ones, so choose according to your own preferences.

Tips on brand selection of diving suits:

Foreigners have a long history of diving, and there are many brands of diving suits, but they mainly sell thick diving suits (foreigners are not afraid of the sun, and snorkeling basically does not wear diving suits).

Scubapro is an American brand, with the largest sales volume in the world. It is a diving brand dedicated to the US Navy, and its price is relatively expensive.

Aqua-Lung: the inventor of scuba, which can be said to be the top and most professional brand of scuba system.

Poseidon: a famous brand in Sweden and a diving equipment brand designated by the Royal Navy.

MARES and CRESSI, Italian brands, have relatively low prices among foreign brands (but they are also much more expensive than domestic brands) and are relatively popular.

There are many brands of diving suits in China, Japan and South Korea, but they mainly sell thin ones, because East Asians love whitening and are afraid of the sun. At present, there are relatively few people who dive deeply, and most people's so-called diving is snorkeling. Fashion diving suit brands emerge one after another, and there are more than ten brands such as Orlo, BARREL, LAZYBEE, ciellemarin and ABYSS, among which Barrel has the strongest product development ability and the most styles. Generally speaking, the development history of domestic brands is too short and the scale is not large.

DIVE& SAIL sold well a few years ago because of the explosion, but its product development has not kept up in the past two years.

SBART has a large number of imitations, occupying a place in the domestic market with many styles, but it has no original design, messy style and no brand connotation.

TOPSIS (Taiwan Province brand) and Yingfa, both swimsuit brands, are extended to thin diving suits, and the number of styles is small, which is old-fashioned.

Sabolay/ shark Bora, with original design and offset head, has its own style, which is quite rare among domestic brands and expensive.

OLLEHA, with original design, not fancy but a little personality, good quality and high cost performance.

HISEA, a factory brand, is a new own brand.

Xia Langfeng, designed to imitate explosions, cut in at a low price and average quality.
