- Store loosely; avoid folding tight at the zip or seam lines.
- Replace when the neoprene becomes stiff or the zip no longer seals properly.

Can anyone provide information on how to properly care for this Scubapro Profile 2.5mm Shorty after I go diving?
Junhao Lo –
Dear Kelly, thank you for your feedback about the Scubapro Profile 2.5mm Shorty. To properly care for this shorty, we recommend rinsing it with fresh water after each use to remove any salt or sand residue. Avoid using harsh chemicals or bleach, as these can damage the fabric. Instead, use a mild detergent and cold water for hand washing. Do not put your wetsuit in the washing machine or dryer, as this can cause it to lose its shape and stretchiness. After washing, gently squeeze out excess water from the shorty without wringing or twisting it. You can then lay it flat on a towel to air dry. For prolonged storage, consider folding the shorty neatly and storing it in a dry, well-ventilated area. We hope this information helps you care for your Scubapro Profile 2.5mm Shorty. If you have any further questions, please feel free to ask.

Can anyone confirm if this Scubapro Profile 2.5mm Shorty is suitable for diving in cold water?
Imran Hanafiah –
Thank you for reaching out, Tiffany! We’d like to inform you that the Scubapro Profile 2.5mm Shorty is designed for warm water diving. However, it can still be used in cold water, but we would recommend it for water temperatures above 15°C (59°F). At 2.5mm, it provides good thermal protection and flexibility in warmer conditions. If you’re planning to dive in colder water frequently, we suggest considering a thicker Shorty or a Wetsuit.

Can the Scubapro 2.5mm shorty be used in cold water conditions? I’m planning to go diving in Dubai and I’m not sure if this suit will be warm enough?
Imran Hanafiah –
Thank you for reaching out about using the Scubapro Profile 2.5mm Shorty in cold water conditions. This shorty is indeed designed for warm water use, but that doesn’t mean it won’t work in cooler waters. However, we cannot guarantee its performance in water temperatures below 18°C/64°F. If you’re planning to dive in Dubai, which has a tropical desert climate, you may find the suit suitable for the waters but we recommend checking the current water temperature first to ensure it’s within the optimal range. For cold water diving, we would recommend our Scubapro 7mm or 5mm Shorty. If you have any further questions, please don’t hesitate to ask.

I recently bought the Scubapro Profile 2.5mm Shorty for my girlfriend and she absolutely loves it. The only improvement I can think of is that it would be better if they included a more adjustable strap system for a better fit.
