Stay warm and dive with confidence using our premium selection of scuba diving wetsuits in Canada. Designed for both men and women, our wetsuits deliver thermal protection, comfort, and flexibility for all water conditions.

Wetsuits may all look the same, but scuba wetsuits for cold water diving are built differently. They're thicker, better insulated, and made to help divers stay underwater longer and more comfortably — even in frigid Canadian waters.

Canada’s Best Wetsuits for Thermal & Exposure Protection

Our Canadian scuba wetsuits trap a thin layer of warm water between your skin and the neoprene, creating a thermal barrier that insulates against cold water temperatures.

For extremely cold conditions, you may want to explore drysuits or semi-dry suits. These keep you dry and allow for thermal layers underneath — ideal for diving in BC, Alberta, or northern Canadian waters.

A good wetsuit also protects against cuts, abrasions, and stings. Whether you’re diving around reefs, wrecks, or rocky coastlines, a reliable wetsuit is essential for safety and comfort.

Materials & Wetsuit Thickness Guide

Most of our Canadian scuba diving wetsuits are crafted from high-stretch neoprene with nylon or fleece lining for warmth and comfort. Thickness options range from 1mm to 8mm to suit tropical diving or cold-water environments across Canada.

We offer full wetsuits, shorties, and two-piece wetsuits to meet your diving style. Whether you're diving locally or traveling, you'll find the right suit at Diving Sports Canada.

How to Choose the Right Scuba Wetsuit in Canada

Fit is key. A good scuba wetsuit should feel snug without restricting your movement. Use a wetsuit temperature and thickness guide to choose the right gear for your dive location — especially if you're diving in colder Canadian lakes or Pacific waters.

We carry top brands like Scubapro, Cressi, Aqualung, Mares, Bare, NeoSport, and Fourth Element — all trusted by divers around the world for performance and quality in every dive.

Our men’s scuba wetsuits are designed for mobility and insulation in a variety of water temperatures, from warm dives to cold water expeditions in Canada.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why are wetsuits important?

Wetsuits are crucial for divers as they provide insulation by trapping a thin layer of water between the suit and the diver's body. This layer warms up from the body heat, helping to maintain a constant temperature and prevent hypothermia, which can occur when the body temperature drops dangerously low.

What is the best wetsuit material?

Neoprene is considered the best material for wetsuits because it offers excellent insulation while being lightweight, stretchy, durable, and resistant to water. Neoprene wetsuits are available in various thicknesses, allowing divers to choose thinner suits for warmer waters and thicker ones for colder environments.

What is the ideal thickness of a wetsuit?

The thickness of a wetsuit depends on the water temperature and diving conditions. Thinner wetsuits, typically 2mm to 3mm thick, are suitable for warm water. For cold water diving, wetsuits thicker than 4mm provide better insulation and protection.

How should a wetsuit fit?

A properly fitting wetsuit should hug the body like a second skin, allowing only a thin layer of water to remain between the diver's body and the suit. This close fit ensures optimal warmth and mobility, essential for a comfortable diving experience.

What are the different types of wetsuits?

There are several types of wetsuits designed for different diving conditions:

  • Shorty Wetsuits: Cover the torso and thighs, suitable for warmer waters or surface activities.
  • Semi-Dry Suits: Thicker and more water-resistant than standard wetsuits, offering better warmth in cooler waters.
  • Drysuit: Completely waterproof suits worn over insulation layers, ideal for very cold waters.
  • Specialized Wetsuits: Including options like children's wetsuits and triathlon wetsuits, tailored to specific needs and activities.

How do I care for and maintain my wetsuit?

Rinse your wetsuit thoroughly with fresh water after every use to remove salt, sand, and chlorine. Hang it to dry inside out in a shaded area to prevent UV damage. Store it flat or hanging on a wide hanger to avoid creases and damage.

Can I use a wetsuit for other water sports?

Yes, wetsuits are versatile and commonly used for surfing, snorkeling, freediving, paddleboarding, and other water activities where thermal protection is needed.

How do I choose the right wetsuit for Canadian waters?

Canadian waters can be cold, so choose a wetsuit with adequate thickness (usually 5mm or more) or consider a semi-dry or drysuit for longer dives or colder seasons. Also consider layering with wetsuit vests or hoods for extra warmth.
