Care & Maintenance
- Rinse with fresh water after every dive – short dives still expose the neoprene to salt.
- Hang to dry in the shade; avoid direct sun which stiffens neoprene over time.
- Store loosely; avoid folding tight at the zip or seam lines.
- Replace when the neoprene becomes stiff or the zip no longer seals properly.
Final Verdict
In Malaysia’s warm waters, a shorty is often the smarter choice over a full suit. The Poseidon Mission Suit Shorty 1.5 mm gives you the coverage you need with the freedom you want – simple, practical, effective.

Have you considered adding a built-in compass and depth gauge to the suit? That would be a fantastic feature for scuba diving enthusiasts!

Your feedback is invaluable to us. In the meantime, we do offer a variety of dive watches and depth gauges that can be paired with our suits for added functionality.

Julia Lee –
Can I use this product in extreme cold weather?
Imran Hanafiah –
Dear Julia, thank you for reaching out to us! The Poseidon Mission Suit Shorty 1.5 mm is designed for versatility, but we would recommend exercising caution in extreme cold weather. While the suit’s insulation can provide some warmth, it may not be enough to protect against prolonged exposure to extremely low temperatures. We would recommend using the product in temperatures above 32°F (0°C) for optimal performance. If you’re planning to use the suit in cold weather, we recommend layering additional insulation under the suit for added warmth. Please let us know if you have any further questions or concerns!

I’ve been using Poseidon Mission Suit Shorty 1.5 mm for scuba diving and the water resistance is phenomenal! However, the stitching could be improved as I noticed a small fray after multiple uses.
