I want to get a wet suit for when I go water skiing and tubing in the winter at it place. But then a friend told me that I should just get a dry suit instead. I didnt want to sound dumb in front of my friend so I just agreed with him even though I had np clue what a dry suit was. Will someone explain what a dry Suit is and what are the differences between that and a wet suit

A wet suit allows a thin layer of water between the person's body and the wet suit. The body then heats the water, keeping you warm. There are different thicknesses of the wet suit depending on how cold the water will be and how much flexibility you will want.
A dry suit is just like it sounds...it doesn't let any water in. It has waterproof seals around the neck, wrists and feet. It has a layer of warm air that helps to keep you warm. It is recommended for any activities in very cold water. Dry suits require a bit of training to wear as they can be difficult. For water skiing and tubing this summer, I would recommend a wet suit.
