The Subgear Element XL 3MM wetsuit was really comfortable during my recent diving trip off Tioman. I appreciated how easy it was to put on and the thermal protection was just right for warm waters. Only minor issue was the neck seal felt a bit snug at first.

Is the reinforced knee pad suitable for dives with rocky entries? Planning a trip to Pulau Hantu soon and want to make sure the suit can handle some rough surfaces.

Hi Rahimah, yes—the reinforced knee pads on the Subgear Element XL 3MM are specifically designed to withstand contact with rough or rocky surfaces, helping to protect both the suit and your knees. They should serve you well during your Pulau Hantu dives.

Great wetsuit for beginners! Used it for my open water course and felt comfortable the whole time. The zip cord is long, so I could get in and out by myself, which was very convenient.
