Wei Ming Tan –
The wetsuit feels really comfortable and flexible underwater, and I didn’t experience any chafing around the neck and arms during a full day of diving. The back zip made it super easy to put on and take off, which is a huge plus after a long dive.

Is the Subgear Rebel Steamer suitable for diving in cooler waters, or is it mainly for warm conditions? Planning a trip where water temps might drop to around 20°C.
Junhao Lo –
Hi Priya, the 2.5MM thickness of the Subgear Rebel Steamer is best suited for warm to temperate waters. For water temperatures around 20°C, it can provide decent insulation, but you may want to pair it with additional layers if you tend to get cold easily.
Adrian Goh –
The knee and shoulder panels seem sturdy, but the wetsuit is a bit tighter than expected in the chest area. It’s still usable and kept me warm on my last dive.
