The suit is constructed from a plurality of panels woven from synthetic or naturally occurring fibres joined to one another along their respective edges, usually along seams which are effectively sealed so that the resulting suit covers the entire body of the wearer excepting extremities and extends across the various joints of the wearer which would commonly be expended to flex during diving. The garment is additionally provided with at least one panel in the region of one or more joints of the wearer which is of the same woven material as the remaining materials, but is a panel which is cut from the material on the bias as opposed to parallel to the warp or weft of the weave of that material. In this manner, an exceedingly elastic suit, at least in the region of the joints of the wearer when the suit is correctly worm, can be achieved.
