Abstract Through our wetsuit, divers will have a more comfortable and safe experience to maximize interest in exploration. Because heaters will be placed in the core, it will not take heat from extremities. Divers’ bodies will naturally produce heat for those extremities. The oscillatory rate will remain normal, so bodily fluids can circulate without lymph nodes slowing them down. Thermal contraction will not be a problem, so almost no water will enter the wetsuit.
