    Maybe not but why would you want to?

    Nobody is perfect and taken unawares by a current it's always possible to make contact with the reef.

    Having seen somebody suffer the effects of fire coral resurging everytime they made contact with salt water for over three months, and witnessing a micro jellyfish swarm I figure shorties are for the pool.

    Depends where you're diving. Temperature wise it should be ok but I got stang off a fire worm in Malta and twas like my leg had been barbequed. Jesus.

    I wouldn't

    Checked some log downloads, I used a full 5 mm semi-dry and a thin hood on some dives during a weeks liveaboard

    I would be happy temperature wise but on a night dive in Egypt in a shorty, following a fish for a photo I found myself surrounded by fire coral, front, behind, left, right. it took a fair bit of focus to get out of there without a scratch. A full length suit and it would not have been such a worry.

    I once got the end of my knob stuck in the zip of a shorty too...but thats another storey

    Maybe the 'height' has something to do with it?
