Can I use my surfing wetsuit to go scuba diving?

I’m getting certified and I have a wetsuit, but I’m not sure if diving suits have to be a certain thickness or not. My suit is a Rip Curl and its pretty nice. Let me know if I can use it.

      Depending on the water temp, your wetsuit should work fine.

      In more tropical climates, some people will even leave out their wetsuit altogether.

      If you’re diving the Puget Sound however, it will be a much different story. Diving that with a core warmer, farmer john, hood, and gloves, I was a freaking popsicle after 45 minutes.
