Farting in a wetsuit is actually very good and helpful. Warms you up nicely.

A more interesting question may be whether a fart in a wetsuit increases buoyancy, which I guess depends on whether the gas is more compressed inside the [warm] body also compressed by a wetsuit in turn compressed by the surrounding water, or outside of the body compressed by the wetsuit and [cold] water. Presumably trapped farts will increase in volume and buoyancy alarmingly as one shoots rapidly to the surface. Anyone got a can of beans and a wetsuit?
