What Is Scuba (Neoprene) Fabric?

Short answer: Scuba — called dalgıç in Turkish — is a firm, shape-holding double-knit fabric with a thin foam-like layer between two smooth faces, named for its resemblance to a scuba (wetsuit) diving suit. It has four-way stretch, non-fray edges, and needs no ironing. Altunkaya Tekstil produces it in two weights: the more fluid Scuba (230-240 gsm) and the firmer, structured Dalgıç/neoprene (260-270 gsm).

Wholesale Scuba & Neoprene Fabric — Common Questions

What is scuba (neoprene) fabric?
Scuba — called dalgıç in Turkish — is a firm, shape-holding double-knit fabric with a thin foam-like layer between two smooth faces, named for its resemblance to a scuba (wetsuit) diving suit. It has four-way stretch, non-fray edges and needs no ironing. Altunkaya Tekstil produces it in two weights: the more fluid Scuba (230-240 gsm) and the firmer, structured Dalgıç/neoprene (260-270 gsm).
Are scuba and neoprene (dalgıç) fabric the same?
They are very similar and often used interchangeably. The technical difference is weight: scuba at 230-240 gsm is thinner and more fluid, while dalgıç (neoprene-look) at 260-270 gsm is firmer and more structured. Scuba is chosen for slim dresses and skirts, dalgıç for blazers and structured items.
Does scuba fabric stretch and is it easy to sew?
Yes — scuba/neoprene fabric has four-way stretch and non-fray, non-curling edges. It can be sewn with clean cuts without overlocking, which speeds up production, and it is also suitable for laser cutting. These properties make it popular for scuba skirts, bodycon dresses and sportswear tops.
What products is scuba fabric used for?
Scuba and neoprene fabric are used for bodycon dresses, scuba skirts, blazers and jackets, sweatshirts, kidswear, bags and accessories, upholstery and sportswear. Its firm body gives a premium structured shape; it is wrinkle-free and needs no ironing.
Is scuba fabric breathable?
Because of its double-layer polyester structure, scuba is less breathable than cotton fabrics; it is preferred for shape-requiring garments and cool-season wear rather than hot-weather everyday clothing. Being usable without lining partly offsets this.
What is the minimum order quantity (MOQ) for wholesale scuba fabric?
Our MOQ is 50 kg per color for both scuba and dalgıç (neoprene). Stock colors ship in 2-5 business days; custom Pantone/RAL dyeing takes 10-15 business days. EU shipments arrive in 3-7 days with EUR.1 movement certificates.
