The ideal water temperatures for this suit are approximately between 60–75°F (16-24°C). This makes it a top pick for cooler dive destinations such as South Africa, Socorro, the Galápagos, or for those dive trips with multi-dive days and deeper depths.

FAQ
A 5mm wetsuit is generally recommended for diving in water temperatures between 60–75°F (16-24°C). Of course, each diver has a different thermal tolerance, and for cooler conditions, you may choose to dive with a hood or a vest underneath.
Absolutely! Many divers who tend to get cold in tropical destinations often dive with 5mm wetsuits, and the Mares Evolution 5mm Wetsuit is no exception. Diving with a 5mm wetsuit will provide extra thermal security for those who appreciate warmth.
They create a seal close to your skin, which inhibits large amounts of water from flushing through your wetsuit. The water that is in your wetsuit becomes trapped and circulates around your body, keeping you warm.
Your knee area of your wetsuit can be your highest-wear area. Knee pads extend the life of your wetsuit by adding another layer that is slow to wear down when kneeling, such as during shore entries, preparing equipment or during dive training.
The suit includes an anti-slip area on the wrists to help keep a dive computer or instrument more stable during the dive.
Use the current Mares size chart for this suit whenever available. If you are between sizes or unsure about fit, contact the Bluewater sales team before ordering.
