[zorcthedestroyer]

im going scuba diving soon and i have to wear a semi-drysuit and a wetsuit hood (oh no!).

are the tips any different for the suit? and can you think of any for the hood?

The tips for the suit will be the same. Most semi-dry suits are only different in that they use a skin seal material at the wrist and ankle to help prevent water flow. Some use a drysuit zipper across the chest but the fit is still that of a normal wetsuit. For your hood you would like it snug around the head but not constricting at the neck. Skin seal at the face is often a nice feature to add for warmth and comfort.

Great help, thank you! Will you please explain how to properly fit for a partial wetsuit (short sleeve, short-like pant, not sure of the precise term).

Thank you.

The fitting steps would be the same for a shorty suit as describe. The fit isn't quite as critical as the suit is designed for warmer waters, but you still look for a nice snug fit without being so tight as to cut off any circulation or making it difficult to breath.
