I’ve had mixed feelings about the Coral Wetsuit so far. On the plus side, it’s incredibly lightweight and comfortable to wear. However, the heat retention could be better, especially in cold water. For the price, I expected a more premium material.
Cecilia Wan –
Just bought the Coral Wetsuit and I’m loving it so far. The thickness of 0.5mm may seem thin, but it’s surprisingly durable and resistant to snags. The only thing that could be improved is the color selection – more vibrant options would be great!
Alia Santos –
Would the Coral Wetsuit be suitable for diving in cold water?
Imran Hanafiah –
Thank you for your review, Alia! While the Mares Coral Wetsuit is designed for tropical dives or as a layering option, it may not be the best choice for diving in cold water due to its 0.5mm thickness. However, the Metalite fabric used inside the Coral does help retain heat. We recommend checking out our thicker wetsuits, such as the Quattro or the 3D Flex, for colder water conditions. Please let us know if you have any further questions or if there’s anything else we can help you with.

How does the Metalite fabric used in the Coral Wetsuit perform in terms of stretchiness?
Imran Hanafiah –
Thank you for your question, Harrison! The Metalite fabric used in our Coral Wetsuit is indeed known for its excellent stretchiness. We’ve put it through rigorous testing to ensure it provides flexibility and comfort for divers. While it’s a thinner material, it still maintains its shape and provides the necessary protection for tropical dives. We’re glad you’ve found it suitable for your needs!

Will the Coral Wetsuit provide adequate protection against marine life?
Junhao Lo –
Thank you for sharing your thoughts on the Mares Coral Wetsuit! You’re absolutely right to consider the protection against marine life when choosing a wetsuit. Although the Coral is designed for warm water diving and is quite thin at 0.5mm, it does have a decent level of heat retention thanks to the Metalite fabric. However, when it comes to protection against marine life, we would recommend pairing the Coral with a rash guard or other protective gear for added protection. For your specific concern, please check out our other wetsuits in our catalogue, like Wetsuit Model #5468 which has extra armor protection

Been owning the Coral Wetsuit for a month now and I must say, it’s been a game changer for my diving trips. The heat retaining quality is top-notch and I can wear it under other suits without any issues. Minor gripe is that it can be a bit stiff at first, but once it stretches out, it’s perfect.
