    I'll start by stating that I'm unfamiliar with diving drysuits, though I
used one 25 plus years ago....
    The paddler's drysuit is, I think, a different animal.  No head or hand
covering per se, though I use latex booties.  I suspect that if I were to go
more than a few feet below the surface I would get significant leakage
through the neck and wrist gaskets.  My guess is that it's more lightly
constructed and I for one have no problems wearing one all day.
