- Lubricate the zip with silicone spray after every 5–10 dives.
- Store in a cool, dark place; premium neoprene is sensitive to UV and heat.

Eunice Kho –
I recently used this wetsuit for a few dives and I was impressed with its thermal capabilities. The 5mm thickness provided just the right amount of warmth without being too bulky. However, I did find the sleeves to be a bit short for my frame. Overall, I’d say this wetsuit meets most of my expectations and I’d definitely recommend it to others.

I’m planning to buy this wetsuit, but I’m not sure if it’s suitable for tropical waters. Does it provide adequate thermal insulation in warm water?
Junhao Lo –
Thank you for reaching out, May Wong. Scubapro Thermal Tec 5mm wetsuits are designed to provide optimal thermal insulation in colder waters. While it can still be worn in warmer tropical waters, you may find it provides more insulation than necessary. However, if you plan to dive in cooler waters or experience colder water conditions during your dive, it would be a suitable choice. For tropical waters, we recommend considering a thinner wetsuit.
