Whether you're a beginner or a seasoned diver, our expert staff can help you find the perfect wetsuit in-store or online.
Why Choose a Freediving Wetsuit?
Freediving wetsuits are essential for minimizing heat loss and maximizing mobility underwater. Designed for breath-hold diving, these suits offer enhanced flexibility and warmth so you can dive longer, deeper, and more safely — especially in Canada’s colder waters.
Key Features of Our Freediving Wetsuits
Open Cell Neoprene: The best choice for cold water freediving in Canada. Open cell wetsuits provide maximum thermal insulation by sealing against the skin but require lubrication to put on and careful handling.
Closed Cell Neoprene: Easier to put on and more durable, these suits are great for travel or warmer waters. A practical choice for new divers who prioritize convenience and durability.
Thermal Protection: Choose from a range of wetsuit thicknesses (1.5mm to 7mm) to match the water conditions. Thicker suits are ideal for West Coast diving in British Columbia.
Flexibility & Fit: All our wetsuits are anatomically designed for freediving — offering unrestricted movement for finning, duck dives, and breath holds.
Durability: Reinforced seams and premium materials ensure your wetsuit can withstand the demands of frequent diving, rocky entries, and cold water compression.
Additional Protection: Pair your suit with freediving gloves and socks for complete thermal coverage and protection against abrasions or jellyfish stings.
How to Choose the Best Freediving Wetsuit for You
For cold water freediving in Canada, we recommend open cell wetsuits in the 5mm–7mm range. If you're heading to tropical destinations, a thinner suit between 1.5mm–3mm will provide flexibility without overheating.
Beginners may prefer a lined (closed cell) wetsuit for ease of use, while experienced freedivers often choose two-piece open cell suits for better performance and warmth retention.
