    Wookie, Wookie, Wookie. I know they float they do not need to be tested. No study needed. Divers who wear wet suits to dive need lead weights to help them go underwater. My old wet suit was a 5/8th inch thick neoprene. I had to work hard to get underwater. What scientic proof does anyone have to call the suits "wet suits" Has anyone actually done any true testing to see if they really add in buoyance? Putting on a suit, getting in the water and saying "i felt like i was floating" doesnt' count as actual testing. What one feels and what is actually happening could, may very well be different. I don't know if the suits float or not. I just think it is silly to say they "float" without proof that is avaiable for everyone to study.
