Most wetsuits are more function than form. You don't really care how it looks as long as you've got a layer or two of neoprene to keep cold water at bay. But if you're a woman in the market for a wetsuit with a little more style, check out the offerings from Sea Dreams. The Dive Diva, for instance, is a full-length 3mm sleeveless wetsuit ($329) that comes with a removable matching jacket and has a back zipper. The distinctive design comes with either pink or blue trim and is made of a quick-dry, ultra-stretch neoprene that's double-glued and blind-stitched. The suit, which is available in sizes 4 to 14, is perfect for water that's above 70 degrees. The company also produces several versions of a shortie wetsuit.
