Neoprene can collapse under pressure therefore SCUBA diving wetsuits are made of neoprenes designed to handle the compression of underwater diving. Snorklers or shallow water divers (less than 30 feet) often choose wetsuits that cross over into multiple sports that do not require compression resistance.

If you are SCUBA diving with these type of wetsuit where the two suits overlap, you will get double the thickness in that area. For example a 3mm John and a 3mm Jacket will overlay in the core and give you 6mm of protection. Mixing and matching thicknesses is also common to provide you with the thermal protection you need. So you can wear a 3mm jacket with a 5mm John.
