Originally from NY and there wetsuiting and skishing were completely different other both involved wearing a wetsuit. Wetsuiting is an extension of wading, skishing is an imitation of boat fishing.

Best Advice in this article from the Atlantic is at he end of the first paragraph: “Don’t”

I spent a significant portion of my engineering career with Navy diver support. The Navy divers are young, in great physical and cardiovascular shape, and highly trained with the best equipment. They go in the water two at a time with a third diver topside on standby for backup. You don’t just have to prepare and worry about the expected hazards you also have to overcome the unexpected as well. If you do it long enough you may find that out the hard way.
