Diveskin

Okay kiddo, diving is a fun sport where people get into the water and swim around with some special equipment. One part of that equipment is called a diveskin.

A diveskin is like an extra layer of skin that divers wear when they go into the water. It's made of a stretchy material that fits snugly over your body, a bit like a wetsuit. But it's not meant to keep you warm like a wetsuit does.

Instead, a diveskin helps protect your skin from sunburn, jellyfish stings, and other things in the water that might scratch or irritate you. It's also helpful when you're snorkeling or doing activities close to the surface of the water, because it makes you more visible to other people.

Think of it like a superhero suit for when you're underwater. It's not essential to have a diveskin, but it can make your diving experience more comfortable and enjoyable in some situations.
