  Diveskin - Biocrawler   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30)
For open water swimming, snorkeling and diving, diveskins are used when diving in water temperatures above 25 degrees C, 77 degrees F. They are made from spandex and provide little thermal protection but simply protect the skin from stings and abrasion.
These spandex suits became popular approximately 20 years ago, and are styled after women's nylon stockings which Aussie lifeguards wore to protect against jellyfish stings when on rescues.
The original diveskins were a neoprene jacket and jeans -- either Levis or Wranglers, and known as a 'Top and Levis'.

 Rifters.com: Starfish/Rifters
A complete diveskin consists of several sections; their edges are lined by hydrophobic macromolecules which seal reflexively on mutual contact.
(Diveskin seals are broken by a depolarising blade on the index finger of each glove.) The diveskin is selectively-permeable, and filters distilled aliquots of seawater across the body surface to maintain optimum skin pH and to prevent the accumulation of skin oils.
The circumorbital edges of the diveskin are treated to bind to the eyecap, ensuring that no unfiltered substances penetrate to the skin.

 Bodyskin - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Bodyskins are normally made of technologically advanced lycra-based fabrics designed to hug the body tightly and provide increased speed and decreased drag resistance in the water.
The bodyskin resembles the design of a diveskin, commonly used by snorkelers and scuba divers for warm weather climates.
The primary distinguishing feature is the material from which the bodyskin suit is made.

I also have the option of having nylon or slick skin interior, I don't know which I should choose.
Have no experience with diveskin, but generally high pants seem to work better in apnea suits regarding warmth and flexibility.
For interior nylon won't be as warm as open cell (slick skin in his site), the difference is usually notable, so for Or waters I'd say open cell.
