Choosing the right thickness

Selecting the correct neoprene thickness is critical for your comfort and safety during long dives. Our range of Wetsuits covers all seasonal requirements:

• 1.5mm Wetsuits: Perfect for summer sessions, tropical environments, and high-activity dives where sun protection and wind-chill resistance are the priority.
• 3/2mm Wetsuits: A versatile choice for temperate Australian waters, offering excellent flexibility for year-round use in many coastal regions.
• 4/3mm & 5/4mm Wetsuits: Designed for serious cold-water protection, these thicker options are essential for winter diving in southern states or deep-water missions where temperatures drop significantly.

Warmth, stretch and durability

At SALT Of The Sea, we focus on functional design that performs under pressure. Our Element series utilizes GBS (Glued and Blind Stitched) seam construction to create a watertight seal, keeping you warmer for longer. For those who prioritize maximum mobility, the Abyss range uses flatlock seams and premium high-stretch neoprene. Many of our spearfishing models feature Hexcore reinforcement in high-wear areas like the chest and knees, providing the durability needed when loading spearguns or resting on abrasive surfaces. We also offer specialized Men’s Wetsuits, Women’s Wetsuits, and Kids Wetsuits to ensure every diver in the family is properly equipped.

FAQs

Why are two-piece wetsuits better for spearfishing?

Two-piece suits are preferred because they eliminate the need for a long back zip, which improves flexibility and creates a better water seal. They also allow divers to mix and match different jacket and pant sizes or thicknesses to suit their specific body type and local water conditions.

How should a spearfishing wetsuit fit?

Your suit should feel very snug, like a second skin, with no air pockets or loose areas around the underarms or lower back. A tight fit prevents water from flushing through the suit, which is essential for maintaining warmth during long periods of inactivity while waiting for fish.

What is the difference between GBS and flatlock seams?

GBS (Glued and Blind Stitched) seams are glued together before being stitched, creating a watertight bond ideal for cold water. Flatlock seams are stitched through the neoprene, which is highly durable and flexible but allows some water to breathe through, making it better suited for warm-water environments.

How do I maintain my wetsuit to ensure it lasts?

Always rinse your gear thoroughly in fresh water after every session to remove salt and sand. Dry it inside out in a shaded area, away from direct sunlight, and store it on a wide-shouldered hanger to avoid permanent creases in the neoprene.
