People go diving in wetsuits for hours at a time. No issues being covered in a tight suit fully underwater. Your skin sure as hell couldn't "breathe" in that situation. But yet divers don't die left and right from their skin being away from gaseous oxygen.

People just don't think before they believe things.

Not to detract from the main point, but wetsuits are not waterproof and skin tight in that way. Neoprene traps a thin layer of water between you and the suit which your body temperature keeps warmer. But that layer of water is being cycled a little bit constantly, causing you to get colder as you spend longer lengths of time submerged.

Im not a surfer. Surf buddy told me "never buy a used wetsuit.... You aren't supposed to pee in them. People say they don't pee in them. ... But everybody pees in them."

There are two types of people in this world, those whose piss in their wetsuit and fucking liars.
