"Wet Suits for Cave and Technical Divers using G-231N nitrogen blown
neoprene

If you are a cave diver or technical diver, a scientific or research diver,
you take your diving very seriously (not that any diving should be treated
trivially). Your investment in the additional equipment and training beyond
sport diving is substantial. If you are not diving in a dry suit, there is
only one wet suit you should be using, one made of Rubatex G-231N nitrogen
blown neoprene. When you are penetrating some cave system or wreck and
having to deal with several factors, including mixed gas diving and staged
decompression, you don' t need the problems of variable heat loss caused by
neoprene's that lose most of their compression and warmth retention
capabilities. When spending that much time in the water, you want a wet suit
that will keep you as warm as possible and will last as long as you do. 

You probably know that already. We won't waste your time by talking about
anything other that G-231N. It's the only neoprene you should even consider
and the only one we will mention on this page. The DIW (Doing It Wrong)
crowd and strokes can look elsewhere. "
