Suited for Malaysian Dive Sites

Whether you’re exploring Tioman’s snorkelling trails, or venturing to new reefs and wrecks, this wetsuit delivers the warmth, flexibility, and comfort you need on every descent.
Care & Maintenance
- Rinse after every use and wash regularly – lycra holds onto salt and body oils.
- Machine wash on gentle in cold water; avoid bleach.
- Hang or lay flat to dry – tumble drying degrades lycra over time.
- Store away from sunlight when not in use; UV fades the fabric and weakens fibres.

Yong Wei Tan –
The steamer skin suit feels really light and comfortable underwater. I used it for a week-long dive trip in Tioman and it protected my skin well from sun and jellyfish. The back zip is easy to manage, but wish the zipper had a bigger pull tab.

Is this suit suitable to wear as a base layer under a 5mm wetsuit for diving in Sipadan? I’m concerned about overheating or restricted movement.
Junhao Lo –
Hi Ms Aziz, yes, the Subgear Rebel steamer is designed as a lightweight layer and works well under a 5mm wetsuit. The super-stretch lycra ensures your movement isn’t restricted, and the material is breathable to help with temperature regulation, so overheating is unlikely in most dive conditions.
Rajendra Menon –
The suit fits snugly and doesn’t bunch up at the arms or legs. I like how quick it dries after my pool sessions, but after a few uses, some seams near the ankle are starting to show loose threads.
