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.

Wei Ming Chan –
I recently wore the Subgear Rebel steamer for my dive holiday in Tioman. The back zip is easy to manage even when wet, and I felt really comfortable moving around underwater. Only minor gripe is that the suit felt a bit warm during surface intervals.
Imran Hanafiah –
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience, Wei Ming. We’re glad to hear the back zip and fit worked well for you, and we appreciate your feedback regarding warmth during surface intervals—this is noted and will be shared with our team for future improvements.
Devi Pillai –
Is the 122cm sizing meant for adults or kids? My son is about 120cm tall and I want to ensure a comfortable fit for him.
Junhao Lo –
Thank you for your question, Devi. The 122cm sizing typically fits children around that height; however, we recommend checking the full size chart for body measurements as fit can also depend on build and proportions.
Raja Nair –
The blue colour really stands out underwater, and the material feels very stretchy and comfortable even for long snorkelling sessions. Zipper feels sturdy, and I had no issues with it after several uses.
