You already got some good answers. The guys are right about thickness and flexibility. Another usual difference is that surf suits zip up the back, and don't have any snaps or fasteners on the front., because you paddle on your belly. Dive suits zip up the front, because you wear your tank and back-pack on your back.

PS: ONLY buy wetsuits in good surf or dive shops. Or, if you are lucky enough, there are a few wetsuit stores out there, like Wetsuit World in NJ. DON'T BUY ON LINE.
