Why does it take less time for a diver to feel warm in a dry suit than it does in a wetsuit?

i don't really know but it might be that, in a dry-suit there is no water that you have to warm up like there is in a wetsuit and in a dry-suit there are trapped pockets of air which reduces convection, so you don't lose as much heat.

What will happen if you fill your wetsuit with air?
Assuming you are talking about a wet suit and not a dry suit, nearly nothing. Your suit will dispel the air as soon as you put it in the water. How fast depends on how deep you go (pressure) and how long you are there. Mainly it will be no different then when you put on your wet suit for your first dive of the day when the suit was dry. I do not understand why you would fill your wet suit with air other then possibly it being too loose. If that is the case get one that fits better.
Why do desert plant transpire less than others?
They are adapted to suit the dry,hot,arid desert conditions. By transpiring less they conserve water.
What is a good wetsuit for 60 degree water temperatures?
A lot of personal preference comes into play. I would try either a 5mm farmer john, or a 7mm one piece. I found for myself if I'm diving wet around that temperature I'm comfortable in a 5mm farmer john wet suit with a 2mm lycra.
When your on the moon is your weight more or less than on Earth?
On the Moon, you would feel like you weighed only one-sixth as much as you would on Earth. Which is probably just as well. When you add in the space suit, oxygen tanks, thick boots and gloves, it would be very difficult to walk in Earth-normal gravity.
What are the advantages of synthetic products over natural products?
Synthetic products can be made to suit the task to perfection, they are often cheaper to make so therefore can be sold for less benefiting the consumer. They can be made stronger, lighter and have a better feel on skin when it comes to cloths. While it contains many benefits you must remember what some of them do to the environment.
What is the deepest someone can dive in a wetsuit?
There is no depth limit, so as deep as a diver can stay comfortably warm in that particular suit in the water temperature.
What do you wear under a wetsuit?
A bathing suit for starters, a rash guard, or most surfers wear nothing under. A common additional item to wear under a wetsuit is a one piece lycra suit. The benefits of this are that it makes the wetsuit easier to put on and off, and the lycra doesn't compress. For instance someone diving a 5mm farmer john (2 piece) wetsuit and a 2mm lycra dives deep enough that the wetsuit has compressed to half its original thickness. This diver now has 2.5mm of wetsuit covering their legs and arms, 5mm covering their core (chest, stomach.) Now when you add the 2mm from the lycra which hasn't compressed there is actually 4.5mm on the legs/arm and 7mm over the core area. A diver in a 7mm farmer john at the same depth is left with 3.5mm on the legs/arms and 7mm over the core. If you double the depth at this point the 5mm and the lycra gain a lead over the thicker wetsuit. The free aditional benefit to this item is that you may be able to get rid of some extra weight as you can use a thinner wetsuit which will require less weight to get you under.
Has anyone used a triathlon wetsuit for surfing In other words is the tri wetsuit felxible enough to use as a surfing wetsuit?
A triathlon wetsuit should not be used for surfing due to the fragile coating on the outside of the suit. The abrasive surface of the surfboard will damage the wetsuit ruining the coating and possibly tearing the suit.
How do divers keep warm?
Wetsuits are typically made out of an insulating, rubber-like substance called neoprene and they are designed to fit snuggly (but not too tight). When a diver first jumps into the ocean, a small amount of water will seep in and form a layer of water between the diver's skin and the neoprene wetsuit. The diver's body will warm that water to nearly body-temperature. Because the wetsuit fits snuggly, that water does not circulate with the ocean water, it stays against the skin forming a warm insulating layer between the diver and the ocean. It should be noted that wetsuits are not appropriate for diving in all climates as they will only keep a diver so warm. Another kind of suit called a Dry Suit is worn for dives in very cold water, and these suits are much warmer. The use of dry suits requires additional training, however, to learn how to handle the additional buoyancy of the air in the suit.

How does a scuba diver become less or more bouynt?
The primary buoyancy control is by the mass of the equipment and weight-belt versus the diver's natural buoyancy and that of the suit; but divers also use an adjustable buoyancy jacket for fine control.
Can scuba diving ruin a tri wetsuit?
Possibly as the tri-wetsuit might not be designed to swim in salt water though I'd be surprised if salt water was harder on the suit than chlorinated water
