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.
