Coral reefs need our help!

Your purchase plants corals

Did you know that it is estimated that over 50% of coral reefs have been lost since the 1950s?

When we learned this heartbreaking statistic we knew we had to do something about it - so we created The Dive Compass, an ocean loving swimwear brand where YOUR purchase can actually make a difference. Each purchase plants corals in the heart of the Coral Triangle in Bali, Indonesia with the Livingseas Foundation.

The dive compass is a classy operation. I received a size M that was too small. Andrea was prompt in sending me return directions and getting a size L sent to me quickly (my dive trip was approaching). The fit was great and the customer service exceptional!

Hi Susan, thank you so much for your kind words! I'm thrilled to hear you had a great experience and that the size exchange worked out smoothly. I hope you enjoyed your dive trip!

I really couldn't recommend shopping at The Dive Compass highly enough. Not only are the products beautifully designed and of amazing quality, but the customer service is incredible every step of the way. I wanted some advice about the sizing before ordering, and got helpful and quick responses that made sure that every piece fit wonderfully (even the bikini, and that can really be a challenge to order online). After I got my order, I had an issue with the rash guard, and I was promptly sent a replacement. I couldn't be happier about my purchases and the entire process, and I'll definitely come back to The Dive Compass the next time I need any swimwear or sporty beachwear!

Thank you for your wonderful review! I'm thrilled to hear you had a great experience and love your swimwear. Happy diving 🩵

This colorful gear is highly visible and great for open water swimming. Super cute!

Hi May, thank you for your wonderful feedback! I'm glad you love the gear and find it perfect for open water swimming. Stay safe and enjoy your swims!

These are awesome items for diving or just dressing in tropical climates. I actually bought a dress from The Dive Compass that I love to wear in the Florida sun. The fabric is great and the underwater themes are so fun they make you feel happy!

This is my second purchase with The Dive Compass. I love the quality and design of the bikinis and rashies. I get tons of compliments ever time I wear them.

Hi Paula, I'm thrilled to hear you love your bikinis and rashies! Thanks so much for your continued support and kind words. We look forward to your next visit!

Excellent customer service and a user-friendly, intuitive website make for a seamless experience

Customer service was great!

This shop really needs more attention! This design is also just amazing! If you love the sea and leggings, these are a must-have! I study marine biology and these leggings are going to be one of my new favorites! There is a size chart to help you find the right size, but mine was so weird that I wasn't sure. So I wrote to the sales assistant directly and she recommended size S as the perfect fit (I'm 5'6', hips 95 cm and waist 71 cm). The leggings are washable at 30 degrees Celsius—that's all I need! I am completely satisfied and will probably order the other designs in time—I already have two! Sunny greetings from the Baltic Sea!

quick delivery , reasonable postage fees. I was expecting an order confirmation email, but didn't get one. I did get a shipment information though, a few days after I ordered, which included the order details.

Hi Verena, so glad you liked your order and it arrived quickly! That's soo helpful to know that the email order confirmation never arrived, we will get this fixed!
