Record number: 5, Textual support number: 2 CONT
Wet suits are used when diving in water temperatures over 20 degrees C (70 degrees F). A modern wetsuit is mostly made from thin neoprene, which provides limited thermal protection, and lined with a nylon fabric to make it easy to put on and take off. A wetsuit allows a small amount of water into the suit, but traps this thin layer of water between the skin and the neoprene, which body heat then warms up. The neoprene itself insulates the warm layer against the cold of the surrounding water. 5, record 5, English, - wet%20suit

Le principe de ce dernier [vêtement] était d'admettre une petite quantité d'eau qui se réchauffait au contact du corps, gardant en principe le plongeur dans une sorte de bain-marie. Le vêtement destiné au plongeur amateur est devenu du fait de son adhérence pratiquement «non étanche» et c'est ainsi que le vocabulaire américain a relégué aux oubliettes le terme «wet suit» ou «vêtement non étanche». 3, record 5, French, - combinaison%20humide

Si la plongée est en eau chaude et/ou de courte durée, le plongeur utilisera une combinaison dite «humide». Composée de néoprène variant de 1 mm à 7 mm, ces combinaisons sont peu chères, et pour peu qu'elles soient bien ajustées, isolent suffisamment le plongeur qui n'a pas à lutter contre le froid ou dont la décompression n'est pas trop longue. 8, record 5, French, - combinaison%20humide

La combinaison mouillée ou «wet suit» est faite d'un caoutchouc mousse poreux. Une petite quantité d'eau peut y pénétrer, mais comme le vêtement est en contact avec la peau, l'air emprisonné dans les pores du caoutchouc conserve la chaleur du corps. 2, record 5, French, - combinaison%20humide
