Scuba is a finely knit double-jersey polyester-spandex fabric engineered to mimic the smooth, buoyant feel of neoprene without the heavy bulk. Highly stable, non-fraying, and exceptionally easy to sew, scuba holds structural shapes beautifully rather than falling flat—making it a favourite choice for sculpted fashion, body-smoothing evening wear, and contemporary apparel.

What is scuba fabric?
Scuba is a thick, double-knit fabric typically made from a blend of polyester and elastane. It has a very smooth, slightly springy texture and offers excellent stretch recovery. Unlike traditional thin jersey, it has a lot of structure, meaning it holds its shape beautifully and smooths over the body rather than clinging to it.
