Care & Maintenance
- Rinse with fresh water after every dive – short dives still expose the neoprene to salt.
- Hang to dry in the shade; avoid direct sun which stiffens neoprene over time.
- Store loosely; avoid folding tight at the zip or seam lines.
- Replace when the neoprene becomes stiff or the zip no longer seals properly.
Final Verdict
In Malaysia’s warm waters, a shorty is often the smarter choice over a full suit. The Mares Reef Wetsuit Shorty 2.5mm She Dives gives you the coverage you need with the freedom you want – simple, practical, effective.

I love my wetsuit it’s so comfortable, but I wish it was a bit more affordable. Minor negative: some of the seams could be tighter
