Octopus Ink Swimwear

Yes, we prioritize using recycled polyester whenever we can.

Every piece in our collection manufactured from our US production partner is made from 75% recycled polyester (rPET), sourced from post consumer plastic waste.

If you're ordering from Europe, the majority of our pieces are made from at least 81% recycled polyester including all our bikinis, Swim Trunks, Breezy Swim Trunks, Scuba Leggings, and Cropped Rashies.

We use recycled polyester because compared to traditional polyester, rPET reduces CO₂ emissions by up to 79%. We make every order on demand, which means zero overproduction and nothing goes to landfill unsold.

Yes, all of our scuba bikinis, rash guards, and leggings are rated UPF 50+, blocking 98% of harmful UV rays. Whether you're on the dive boat between dives or snorkeling a shallow reef, you're protected from sun exposure without a single drop of chemical sunscreen in the water.

Every single order plants corals through our Save Our Seas Pledge, 10% of every purchase goes directly to ocean conservation including coral restoration with our conservation partner Living Seas Foundation.

We've seen firsthand what healthy reefs look like, and what they look like when they're gone. This is our commitment to making sure every purchase gives something back.

Absolutely, our swimwear is designed specifically for divers. The secure, stay-put fit means nothing rides up or bunches under your wetsuit or BCD, and the stretchy recycled fabric moves with your body underwater rather than against it.

Our rash guards and Scuba Leggings double as dive skins in warm tropical water above 24°C, and layer perfectly under a wetsuit in cooler conditions.

The Dive Compass is designed by a chemical engineer with a master's degree in Sustainability Science and Technology.

We don't just use recycled materials and call it sustainable. Every piece is made to order to eliminate excess inventory waste, we partner with Living Seas Foundations for active coral restoration, and we design every print around the marine life and ecosystems we're committed to protecting.

This isn't swimwear with a sustainability label. It's dive wear built around a mission.

Learn more about Our Mission

Octopuses are considered one of the most intelligent invertebrates on the planet, they can solve complex puzzles, use tools, navigate mazes, and even recognise individual human faces. Each octopus has a unique personality, and with three hearts, blue blood, and the ability to change color and texture in milliseconds, they are one of the ocean's most extraordinary and alien creatures. Yet their reef habitats are under increasing threat from warming oceans, pollution, and habitat destruction.

Every Octopus Ink purchase plants corals under our Save Our Seas Pledge helping to protect the complex reef ecosystems that species like the octopus call home.
