This is a one-piece suit. It covers the torso and limbs. The head, hands and feet are the only parts exposed. This suit offers the greatest amount of protect from the elements encountered while diving.

It is available in front or rear zipper

This covers the torso and lower body. the top resembles coveralls worn by farmers (hence the name) and leaves the head, arms, and upper neck exposed, as well as the arm pits, a primary heat loss area. A jacket or shorty is usually worn over it, which can double the insulation over the critical torso area.

A farmer John provides greater protection to the torso than pants (see below) since it covers the entire torso.

One or both shoulder tabs will have velcro as the fastener. Zippered versions are also available.

These cover the lower body, ranging up past the waist to the midriff region. They are worn with a jacket or shorty over them.

A shorty leaves the legs exposed, as when wearing shorts. A long sleeve shorty covers the torso and arms, fully covering them.

It protects the main heat loss areas except for the head and can be worn alone or over pants of a farmer john/jane.

Similar to above with the exception of short sleeves, a short sleeve shorty is a good choice for those who need minimal thermal protection as it protects the torso and core temperature. A good fit around the arms is especially important as one of the primary heat loss areas (the arm pits) is just inches / centimeters from the sleeve opening and can allow the pumping of water in and out of the suit if it does not fit well.

It can be worn alone or over a jumpsuit to provide additional thermal protection.

This style does not cover the legs at all. It covers the arms and chest and comes down to about the hips. A flap in the rear (the beaver tail) passes forward between the legs and attaches to the inside bottom front of the jacket. Two twist locks and grommets, one on either side of the zipper, were once common fasteners. They have been largely replaced by velcro tabs.

These are typically worn over pants or a farmer John.

Short (Farmer) John

This suit is primarily used for above water sports or over a jumpsuit for additional warmth. This suit worn alone offers minimal thermal protection as it covers only the torso and groin. The short john may be purchased with an attached hood for cold water diving.

One or both shoulder tabs will have velcro as the fastener. Zippered versions are also available.

A jumpsuit and a short sleeve shorty or short john combination offer more versatility. This combination allows the diver to dive warm water in the jumpsuit and colder water in combination with the short sleeve shorty or short john. The short sleeve shorty or short john may also be used alone for above water sports such as water skiing, wave running and wind surfing.

The edge has been outlined in blue to show where the shorty ends.
