Mares Flexa 8.6.5 – She Dives Wetsuit
RM496.00
The Mares Flexa 8.6.5 – She Dives Wetsuit uses multi-zone neoprene construction – thicker panels where warmth matters most (core and shoulders), thinner and more flexible panels at the limbs for unrestricted movement. This means you get genuine thermal protection on dives where depth and duration vary, without paying the flexibility price of a single-thickness suit. Purpose-built for the variable conditions at Perhentian’s reef-to-wall dives.

Suited for Malaysian Dive Sites
The Mares Flexa 8.6.5 – She Dives Wetsuit performs reliably across Malaysia’s premier diving destinations. Whether you’re exploring Perhentian’s reef-to-wall dives, 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 dive – the seams between different-thickness zones trap salt and grit.
- Hang to dry inside out; the thinner limb panels dry faster and need the air flow.
- Inspect the zone boundaries (where thick meets thin) for wear – this is where stress concentrates.
- Store loosely; avoid folding at the zone transitions.
Final Verdict
Multi-zone construction is one of the smartest ideas in wetsuit design – thick where it matters, thin where it doesn’t. The Mares Flexa 8.6.5 – She Dives Wetsuit puts that idea into practice in a suit that genuinely feels different to wear.

Is the Mares Flexa 8.6.5 She Dives Wetsuit suitable for warm water diving in the Maldives?
Imran Hanafiah –
Dear Elfred, thank you for your question about the Mares Flexa 8.6.5 She Dives Wetsuit. Although this wetsuit is designed to guarantee thermal comfort in cold waters, it may not be the best choice for warm water diving in the Maldives. Mares wetsuits are generally designed for temperate to cold water diving, with a focus on warmth and flexibility. For warm water diving, you may want to consider a lighter weight and more breathable wetsuit. I would recommend checking out our collection of warm water wetsuits for a better suited option for your Maldives dive.

I’ve been using the Mares Flexa 8.6.5 She Dives Wetsuit for a few months now, and I must say it’s been a great experience! The only minor drawback is that it takes a bit longer to dry than I’d like. But overall, it’s been a solid choice for cold water diving.

I was quite satisfied with the purchase of the Mares Flexa She Dives Wetsuit. The material felt comfortable against my skin and it helped me stay warm during the dive. My only issue was that it took a bit longer than expected to get used to the fit, but that might be because I exchanged emails with the sales team for days.

I recently purchased the Mares Flexa She Dives Wetsuit and I’m thoroughly impressed with its performance. The wetsuit is incredibly flexible and, despite the small weight reduction, it offered excellent buoyancy and support. My concern is that the durability might be a problem, as the material seems to show some wear after only a few dives. Overall, I give it 4.5/5 stars!
