The conduits have openings that relate to those portions of the body to which hot water is to be delivered between the diver's skin and the interior of the wet suit. The conduits are extruded or made from plastic or elastomeric material that is stitched or adhered to seams within the wet wuit material, so as to provide one continuous seam or joining member in the seam, which serves to provide the hot water flow to the diver for heating purposes.
