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.

Is there a difference between the 2mm and 2.5mm thicknesses in terms of flexibility?
Imran Hanafiah –
Thank you for your question. The 2mm and 2.5mm thicknesses in our Seac Ciao Shorty Wetsuit Lady do provide slightly different levels of flexibility. Generally, the 2.5mm thickness offers more warmth without compromising too much on flexibility. However, if you prefer a tighter fit or more flexibility, the 2mm might be a better choice for you.

The Seac Ciao Shorty Wetsuit Lady 2.5mm is surprisingly comfortable and I love the way it fits. The material is really soft and the design is modern. Great purchase! The minor negative is maybe a larger size range for women would be beneficial.

I was a bit skeptical about the price, but it’s worth every cent. This wetsuit is a game-changer for me, I feel so much more confident and comfortable while swimming. The only thing I’d change is maybe adding a few more color options.
