Care & Maintenance
- Rinse after every use and wash regularly – lycra holds onto salt and body oils.
- Machine wash on gentle in cold water; avoid bleach.
- Hang or lay flat to dry – tumble drying degrades lycra over time.
- Store away from sunlight when not in use; UV fades the fabric and weakens fibres.

Siti Rahman –
The suit feels great and I had no issue putting it on before my dives, even when rushing a bit. The blue colour is quite eye-catching underwater and my friends could spot me easily. Only wish the fabric dried a bit faster after rinsing.

Thank you for your review, Siti! We’re glad you found the suit comfortable and visible while diving. We appreciate your feedback about the drying time and will keep this in mind for future product improvements.
Wei Ling Tan –
Is the sizing for the 98cm length based on height, or should I refer to chest and waist measurements as well?
Imran Hanafiah –
Hi Wei Ling, the 98cm refers to the length of the suit from shoulder to ankle. We recommend checking both the height and your chest/waist measurements to ensure the best fit. If you need detailed sizing help, please let us know your measurements and we can advise further.
Manjeet Singh –
I used this skin suit for snorkeling in Tioman and it protected me from jellyfish stings. The material is soft on my skin and didn’t cause any itching, which I really appreciate. Good experience overall.
