Is There a Perfect Scuba Wetsuit?

Technology has increased significantly with in our lives which in turn affects a multitude of products that use on a regular basis, the scuba wetsuit has not been spared in this progression and some of the manufacturing techniques, product designs and functionality of the suits have increased dramatically.

Although the purchase of a scuba wetsuit is somewhat of a very personal choice there are a number of factors that contribute to the decision-making process when shopping for these items. First and foremost the areas within which the diver is actually diving will in all likelihood be the predominant factor in identifying suitable suits for consideration. This is because of the water temperature dictating the need for a thicker suit, or even in some cases the dry suit, which actually allows the diver to wear clothes underneath the suit, normally within the form of thermal clothing.

Although one might consider the dry suit or targeted at the commercially orientated divers, the vast majority of so-called "social" divers or part-time enthusiasts often times go for the full scuba wetsuit, otherwise known as the steamer. Also available in a variety of thicknesses, the suits are designed to keep the entire body warm in a number of differing conditions. The thickness of the suit will allow divers to go into colder water regions, and a thinner suit will most likely be selected in more temperate water temperatures. This does not mean that one has to take the full suit, but a Shorty suit is often used too.

One of the best choices within the scuba wetsuit range is that of the full steamer, with detachable arms and legs, which in turn allows the diver to utilise the suit in a variety of different conditions and water temperatures. This type of item is ideal for the diver that travels around a lot, and dives in contrasting conditions and situations.

A number of accessories can also a company the scuba wetsuit, which includes the boots, gloves and hood which in turn provide little extra protection from the elements, as well as the environment within which one may be diving. This protection is seen in helping prevent scratches from rocks and coral reefs within which one may be diving.

Naturally there are a large number of suppliers of the scuba wetsuit, ranging from very well-known brand names to lesser-known makes and varieties. There are key factors that come into play when selecting the right item for your needs, which include the overall quality of the item. These include the way the suit is actually put together, in other words does the manufacturer employ the latest technology blind stitching and glueing the seams, or is it just a standard sewing seam. Does the manufacturer stand by their products with guarantees or is it a hit-and-run affair? These are only a couple of questions that should be considered when purchasing your scuba wetsuit.

Lady-boys in Phuket, Thailand

If you come to Phuket, your itinerary will surely include the famous side shows by those Katoey's or lady-boys. Be ready for a rich sensory experience and a time of enjoyment as they go all out to please the weary customers and patrons or tourists. It is not just about making a living, it is about a way of life. It is not a sleazy existence but a means of maintaining a lifestyle as a lady-boy they would not be able to in their own native village. They wear very revealing dresses showing their ample silicone emphasized breasts while they sing and dance in their performances. Their perfect measurements and their beauty makes them the envy of many real women.

The men and the women watch transfixed as they go about their routines. In Malaysia, they are known as Maknyah's or the derogatory term 'pondan' or 'she-males' in the West.

It is sometimes difficult to discern who is real or who isn't. Some of them are indeed beautiful. I believe God in his immense mercy is giving them a chance to live a life they should have been given since birth. They are obviously more ladies than men. Transsexuals or trans-gender are those who think they are a woman born in a man's body, while a transvestite is a man who likes to dress up like a woman.

In Thailand, being a lady-boy is less derogatory for example than in the west. They are accepted by society as the third sex and are not openly discriminated against. Many Thais have a slight stature, sport smaller bodies like a woman and quite hairless. Boobs are easier to fix but a sex change operation is more complicated, and expensive. My heart really goes out for them as they undergo it to reach their quest of being a real woman. Injection of female Hormones are also part of the routine they have to undergo.

One of the country's most famous lady-boys is Nong Toom, who went from champion Thai kick boxer to being a transsexual. A movie, Saitree Lex, was made about the true story of a lady-boy volleyball team known as the 'Iron Ladies' won the national championships in 1996 against the odds.
