RM112.00
The Mares Apnea Instinct 30 3mm Lady Open Cell Pants is an open-cell neoprene open cell built specifically for freedivers and spearfishers. The 3mm open-cell inner surface moulds to the body like a second skin, trapping a micro-layer of warm water that insulates effectively even during long, static breath-hold dives. Supple and unrestricted, it’s the kind of gear that disappears on your body at Mabul’s sandy hunting zones.

Suited for Malaysian Dive Sites
The Mares Apnea Instinct 30 3mm Lady Open Cell Pants performs reliably across Malaysia’s premier diving destinations. Whether you’re exploring Mabul’s sandy hunting zones, or venturing to new reefs and wrecks, this wetsuit delivers the warmth, flexibility, and comfort you need on every descent.
Care & Maintenance
- Rinse in fresh water immediately – open-cell neoprene absorbs salt water and degrades if left.
- Never tumble dry; hang flat or lay on a towel to dry slowly.
- Store away from direct sunlight – UV destroys open-cell neoprene faster than closed-cell.
- Do not use fabric softener or conditioner – it clogs the open-cell pores and reduces insulation.
Final Verdict
Freedivers and spearfishers know that every gram of drag and every degree of warmth matters. The Mares Apnea Instinct 30 3mm Lady Open Cell Pants delivers on both – a suit that gets out of your way and keeps you comfortable on the breath-hold.

What’s the difference between the 3mm and 5mm versions of the Mares Apnea Instinct Lady Open Cell Pants?
Imran Hanafiah –
Thank you for reaching out to us, Zara. The main difference between the 3mm and 5mm versions of the Mares Apnea Instinct Lady Open Cell Pants lies in their thickness and thermal insulation. The thicker 5mm version offers greater cold water protection and is suitable for colder diving conditions. On the other hand, the 3mm version is thinner, lighter, and perfect for warmer water temperatures. We recommend considering the water temperature and your personal preference when choosing between these two versions.
