Well, a wetsuit, probably. Unless you're going drysuit right out of the gate. Then, you might just wear long underwear, if you're worried about the cold.

Hey Magali-

Stay away from cotton. I see many people wearing cotton as a base layer and that is typically counterproductive. If you wear anything underneath your undergarment, you want it to be something that wicks moisture from your body...I use a pair of poly thermal long johns and they work great.

Have fun on your checkout dives!
