Is the SEAC Royal Freediving Wetsuit the right choice for those serious about longer, deeper breath-hold sessions?
⚡ At a Glance
- • Thermal Protection: 5 mm double-lined neoprene construction and integrated hood for reliable insulation
- • Best for: Freedivers and snorkellers who need a balance of warmth and mobility
- • Not ideal for: Tropical, warm-water use where thicker neoprene would be unnecessarily insulating
Two-piece long-john and hooded jacket tailored for freediving with a 5 mm option. Aqua stop seals and preformed anatomical cuts reduce flushing and improve comfort.
Reliable warmth for cool dives - with 5 mm double-lined neoprene and integrated hood
Double-lined neoprene traps a thin layer of water that warms against the skin while the integrated hood reduces heat loss at the head and neck. Aqua stop smooth-neoprene on cuffs, waistband and ankles limits continuous flushing.
Consistent insulation keeps divers comfortable in cooler conditions, as supported by user reports of reliable warmth at around 18 degrees Celsius. That thermal stability helps maintain focus on technique rather than on staying warm.
Freer movement under water - with preformed anatomical cuts and comfort-fit tailoring
Preformed anatomical shaping on the back, arms and calves follows the body in common freediving postures, reducing resistance when finning. Comfort-fit cut eases dressing without excess material bunching.
Better range of motion makes finning and streamlining less tiring and helps preserve energy on longer breath-hold attempts. Easy dressing reduces preparation time between dives.
Reduced water entry and better seal performance - with Aqua stop smooth-neoprene and reinforced closures
Aqua stop uses extra-smooth neoprene at ankles, cuffs and the hood waistband to form tighter seals that slow down water exchange. Double frogs closure and Melco tape sternal support reinforce the jacket closure for a more secure torso seal.
Fewer cold flushes during vertical or horizontal movement mean a steadier internal temperature and less need to re-adjust gear between dives. The result is more comfortable, distraction-free sessions.
