The present invention advantageously provides a combination wet suit and flotation device integral with the wet suit so that a user can maintain unrestricted movement during water-sport activities, which improves convenience and comfort. A wet suit worn by water-sport a participant includes a torso section having a pocket provided with a movable flap and a waterproof seal. A CO₂ canister is housing with the pocket and includes a strap positioned thereabout for securing the canister during operating conditions. A pull cord is connected to the canister and associated valve for actuating the flow of CO₂ into a bladder defined adjacent the torso section of the wet suit. In operation, when a user pulls the cord, the canister inflates the bladder for assisting to maintain a user's head above the water line.
