I guess it's my "diving with implants" (or a "strap on" )

They called themselves Guerrilla Divers.
Composed of elite divers with Macho mentalities, back when men were men, and FEAR was a lispy companion of the common Man. It was a time before insurance liabilities, lawsuits or beauracratic regulation of the "sport".
Guerrilla divers didn't need "Buoyancy Compensator Vests". In fact, "Anyone who needs a BC deserves to drown" was a popular adage.
Exploration and the Hunt came first, excitement and fun followed. Safety was the stepchild of fitness, good reflexes and a cool head.
This was a time of great Adventure.

As a divemaster

As a female divemaster here in cozumel i have had 7 years experience of taking women diving who have implants and they have no problems, just check with your doctor first. But really hundrends of women and not one single issue on any dive trip.
good luck...

Seriously, I'm curious as to where she got her dive skin. I'm interested in getting one.
Suffice it to say, most dive gear is not flattering at all. If you are using a dive skin to ease getting in and out of your wetsuit it really doesn't lose any functionality if it is low cut in front.

A dive skin that "low cut" kinda defeats the purpose of any thermal protection.

basically with 'cleavage' hanging down like that, that would work as a 'scoop' to funnel water into the suit and maybe the ocassional jelly fish.

but it would be good for wearing under a wetsuit like you described.

( I doubt though that you would see few others on the dive boat complaining.... )

Dive skins don’t have any thermal protection. They are worn under a wet suit.

Actually, they do provide a SMALL amount of thermal protection.

They are worn under wetsuits.

They are also worn by themselves for protection against salps, jellys, etc. They also provide some solar protection when snorkeling.
