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.

Tried this wetsuit during my last trip to Tioman. Fit is true to size, very comfortable and easy to put on, even when wet. Kept me warm during all my dives, though I wish the zipper pull was a bit longer for solo use.

Rajesh Pillai –
Really good wetsuit for tropical waters. The material feels high quality and dries quite quickly. The XXL size is a bit snug on my shoulders, but overall still comfortable for longer dives.
