Best Drysuit for Malta – Bare Guide

Diving in Malta offers spectacular underwater adventures, from vibrant reefs to historic wrecks. Choosing the right drysuit is essential for comfort, safety, and performance, and Bare drysuits are designed to meet the unique conditions of Mediterranean waters. This guide will help you pick the perfect drysuit for Malta.

Why a Drysuit Matters for Malta Diving

While Malta has mild waters in summer, temperatures can drop significantly in winter or at depth. A high-quality drysuit ensures:

  • Thermal protection – Keeps you warm during long dives or colder months
  • Flexibility – Moves with your body for effortless swimming
  • Durability – Withstands rough surfaces, wreck diving, and rocky shore entries

Features to Look for, in a Drysuit

When selecting a drysuit for Malta, consider:

Material

  • Neoprene – Offers comfort, insulation, and some buoyancy
  • Shell (Cordura or Trilaminate) – Lightweight, durable, and compatible with thermal layers

Seals

  • Latex or neoprene wrist and neck seals to minimize water ingress
  • Integrated or removable boots for shore and boat entries

Fit

  • Anatomical design ensures freedom of movement
  • Sizing should allow for thermal undergarments
