Do diver's shave their legs? If they do, is to their advantage for the sport or is it for looks?

Answer 1

Often yes; it common among swimmers, ostensibly to reduce drag.

Answer 2

yes

Answer 3

Yes divers do shave their legs.  When I dove I found that I prefered diving with a slight stubble.  Divers need to grip their legs when they grab them.  For me, if my legs were clean shaven, I didn't get as good of a grip that I could.

Answer 4

Some do,

Purely just so its easier to grip onto there legs when there rotating.
