Neoprene. A big not in the open water swimming world.

But neoprene is entirely acceptable in the triathlon and surfing worlds as well as the just-having-creative-fun department.

French designer Guillaume Binard developed an Oceanwings neoprene suit that is worn by 3-time free diving world record holder Pierre Frolla of Monaco in the video below as he dives underwater into the abyss.

Frolla has descended down to -82 meters before on his world record setting free dives, so his mastery of the Oceanwings neoprene suit looks effortless, as he sinks tranquilly amid the ocean reef.
