I recently used the Subgear Element XXL 3MM for a dive in Pulau Tioman, and I was impressed with the fit. As a bigger guy, it felt snug without being too tight and kept me warm throughout the dive.

Is this wetsuit suitable for dives in seas around Malaysia where temperatures can go as low as 24°C? I want to ensure it provides enough warmth.
Junhao Lo –
Thank you for your question, Jia Wen. The Subgear Element XXL 3MM provides good thermal protection in water temperatures from around 24°C and above, making it suitable for most temperate dives in Malaysia. For colder waters, you might consider additional layering or a thicker suit if you tend to feel cold easily.

The knee pads on this wetsuit are really sturdy. I usually snag suits on rocks, but this one survived a whole trip without any signs of wear. Only wish the back zipper had a longer pull tab.
