Product Information
The SCUBAPRO Element 2PC Apnea 3mm Men's Wetsuit is a two-piece freediving suit built from high-stretch 3mm neoprene, pairing high-waist pants with a hooded beavertail vest and skipping zippers entirely to cut down on water seepage. It is designed for freedivers who want an easy-to-move-in suit that goes on and comes off quickly between dives.
Who it is for
This suit suits freedivers and apnea divers who need a zipper-free two-piece setup rather than a single-zip full suit. The high-waist pants and hooded beavertail vest work together to seal the torso and core without a zipper track running across the chest or back, and the high-stretch neoprene offers lots of freedom of movement.
Key details
- 3mm neoprene construction in a two-piece freediving layout
- Two-piece construction: high-waist pants plus a hooded beavertail vest
- No zippers anywhere on the suit, which minimizes water seepage.
- Adjustable beavertail for a customized, snug core seal
- High-stretch neoprene for freedom of movement and an easy-on, easy-off fit
Compatibility and sizing
The Element 2PC Apnea is offered in two sizes: Small (MPN 63.813.200) and Large (MPN 63.813.400). Confirm your size against your usual wetsuit fit before ordering, since a freediving suit should feel snug with no loose pockets that let water flush in and out.

- Adjustable beavertail: the beavertail vest closure adjusts for a snug, customized core seal.
- Hooded vest: the beavertail vest is hooded for head coverage.
- High-waist pants: the suit pairs high-waist pants with the hooded beavertail vest.

Frequently Asked Questions
How should a wetsuit fit?
A wetsuit should feel snug everywhere, with no loose pockets at the lower back, armpits, or behind the knees where water can collect and flush. It will feel tighter than normal clothing on land, which is expected, because the suit works by holding a thin layer of water that your body warms. If you cannot take a full breath or the neck chokes you it is too small, and if you can pinch loose folds of neoprene it is too big.
What do you wear under a wetsuit?
Most divers wear a swimsuit, a rash guard, or a thin dive-specific base layer under a wetsuit. A slick base layer makes a tight suit much easier to pull on and cuts down chafing at the neck, shoulders, and underarms. Avoid thick cotton clothing, which soaks up water, bunches, and makes you colder rather than warmer.
How do you put on a tight wetsuit?
Work upward in small sections, pulling a little neoprene at a time rather than yanking on one spot, and get the suit fully seated at the ankles and knees before working on the hips and shoulders. A plastic bag over each foot and hand, or wetting the suit first, helps it slide into place. Grip with flat palms rather than fingertips, since fingernails are the most common cause of torn neoprene.
Does a thicker wetsuit mean a warmer wetsuit?
As a general rule, thicker neoprene insulates more, so a higher millimeter rating is warmer in the same conditions. Warmth also depends heavily on fit, suit style, seam construction, whether you add a hood, boots, and gloves, how long the dive is, and your own cold tolerance, so two divers in identical suits can feel very differently. Use thickness as a starting point and refine it against your local conditions and personal experience.
How do I care for and store a wetsuit?
Rinse it inside and out in fresh water after every dive day, and use a wetsuit-specific wash occasionally to control odor. Dry it inside-out first and then flip it, always out of direct sunlight, because UV and heat break down neoprene faster than anything else. Store it hanging on a wide-shouldered hanger or laid flat rather than folded, so you do not set permanent creases.
How long does a wetsuit last?
Lifespan depends far more on use and care than on age, so a suit dived hard in sun and chlorine may soften within a couple of seasons while a well-rinsed occasional-use suit can last many years. Signs a suit is finished include compressed neoprene that no longer feels buoyant or warm, splitting seams, and looseness in areas that used to be snug. Repairing small cuts and seam separations early adds meaningfully to a suit's life.
What is the difference between a full suit, a shorty, and wetsuit separates?
A full suit covers arms and legs, a shorty stops at the upper arms and thighs, and separates such as tops, bottoms, and hooded vests layer to add warmth where you want it. Layering a vest or top under a full suit adds core warmth and can extend the range of a suit you already own. Choose based on how much coverage you want, both for warmth and for protection against stings and abrasion.
What sizes does the Scubapro Element 2PC Apnea wetsuit come in?
It is offered in two sizes: Small, MPN 63.813.200, and Large, MPN 63.813.400. DiveCatalog stocks this model in Small, MPN 63.813.200, and Large, MPN 63.813.400.
Why doesn't this freediving suit have a zipper?
The Element 2PC Apnea is built without zippers specifically to minimize water seepage, since a zipper track is one of the main places water flushes in and out of a wetsuit. Instead, the suit relies on a two-piece layout with high-waist pants and an adjustable beavertail vest to create a snug seal.
What is a hooded beavertail vest?
A beavertail vest is a sleeveless top with an extended flap at the back that pulls forward between the legs and attaches at the front, adding a layer of neoprene over the torso and groin without a zipper. On the Element 2PC Apnea, this vest also includes an attached hood and an adjustable beavertail for a customized core seal.
