The Dive360 Take

Warmth is useful. Being able to bend your arms is fairly handy too. The Flexa 8.6.5 She Dives balances thicker insulation with stretch neoprene and a women’s cut, rather than treating every part of the suit as if it needs the same thickness.

Its 8mm, 6mm and 5mm panels put different thicknesses around the body, while the front zip makes getting dressed straightforward. Extra neoprene at the back and shoulders cushions the areas beneath your scuba gear.

This is the direction we’d look for cooler-water scuba diving when you want a flexible one-piece. Use your body measurements to check the size guide, and allow for your own cold tolerance and dive duration. The leg buckle accepts the optional Flexa Smart Pocket; the pocket isn’t included.

Our team’s experience

I personally like the front zip design as it helps it fit snug and it also means there can be that extra padding on the back for your BCD to sit more comfortably. I also find the neck super comfy and having it adjustable is great to be able to leave it undone on a hot day until your ready to jump in.

Why we like it

Different panel thicknesses balance insulation and movement, so the suit has more to offer than simply being thick everywhere.

Back and shoulder cushioning is a practical touch beneath a BCD. The leg buckle also gives you a place to attach a hood or the optional Smart Pocket.

Who we recommend it to

Women looking for a thicker scuba wetsuit with a front zip and stretch construction, particularly when a lightweight tropical suit doesn’t offer enough insulation.
