Women's scuba diving rash guards made for real dives. Every rash guard is long-sleeve with built-in UV protection, cut from quick-dry four-way stretch fabric, and shaped for a flattering, second-skin fit that layers smoothly under a wetsuit. Each one wears an original all-over-print ocean design — reefs, rays, seahorses and sharks — sublimated edge to edge so it never peels or fades. Whether you're diving a wall, snorkeling a shallow reef or covering up on the surface between tanks, these are women's dive rash guards built to be worn in the water, not just on the beach. Designed and tested by divers in Greece, printed and sewn to order, shipped worldwide.

Choosing your fit for diving and snorkelling

Snorkelling and diving ask slightly different things of a rash guard. Floating face-down for an hour puts your whole back under direct sun, so full-length sleeves and a hem that stays down matter more than they do on a dive. Check the measurement chart for body length — a longer back hem is what stops it riding up while you float face-down. The four-way stretch means you can raise your arms to clear a mask without the whole thing riding up. Wear it alone in warm water, or pair it with dive leggings for full-body cover without a wetsuit.

Sizes and fit

Every women's scuba diving rash guard comes in sizes XS to 4XL, cut with women's shaping through the torso and shoulders. Choose your usual size for a snug, second-skin fit under a wetsuit; size up if you want a more relaxed layer over a swimsuit. The measurement chart on each product page lists body length as well as chest and waist, in centimetres and inches.

Fabric and construction

The fabric is an 82% polyester / 18% spandex knit at 230 g/m² (6.78 oz/yd²): four-way stretch, quick-drying, with built-in UV protection. Flatlock seams lie flat under BCD straps, and the reef, ray, turtle and shark artwork is sublimated into the fibres, so it cannot crack, peel or flake. Every rash guard is printed, cut and sewn to order in 4–9 business days, then shipped worldwide.

Made for more than scuba

The same rash guard covers snorkelling trips, freediving, surfing, paddleboarding and long swims, and it doubles as a light long-sleeve layer on a hot boat. Rinse it in fresh water after every salt-water day and dry it in the shade to keep the stretch and colours sharp.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need a rash guard for snorkelling if I use sunscreen?
A rash guard is the better protection. It has built-in UV protection that keeps working for the whole session, whereas sunscreen washes off and is easy to miss on your back — the part facing the sun the entire time you snorkel. It also means less sunscreen going into the water.
Will a rash guard keep me warm while snorkelling?
It adds a little warmth, but it is not a thermal layer. A rash guard cuts evaporative cooling and wind chill at the surface, which noticeably extends a session in warm tropical water. If you are shivering after twenty minutes, you need a shorty wetsuit or a neoprene top, not a thicker rash guard.
Are these rash guards see-through when wet?
The fabric is a dense stretch knit with the design sublimated through it, so it is designed to stay opaque when wet. Darker prints give the most coverage if that is a concern. Check the product photos for the wet look of a specific design.
Can I wear one over a bikini or swimsuit?
Yes, that is how most women wear them. A flat, low-profile bikini top works best under the close fit — chunky ties or thick padded cups can show through and press uncomfortably under a BCD strap. Many divers wear the rash guard straight over a one-piece for the smoothest layer under a wetsuit.
