All Women's Rash Guards

Q: Are your rash guards suitable for scuba diving?

Yes, our rash guards are designed specifically for scuba diving. They're built to stay put under a BCD or wetsuit through multiple dives, won't ride up or bunch underwater, and are lightweight enough to wear as a standalone dive skin in warm water above 28°C. They also layer comfortably under a wetsuit, making it significantly easier to get your suit on and off.

Q: Does my purchase really plant corals?

Yes, every Dive Compass order plants a coral through our Save Our Seas Pledge, in partnership with Livingseas Foundation in Bali. Learn more about the pledge →

Don't risk burning your skin on your dream dive.

Rash Guards for Maximum Sun Protection — Without Sunscreen

Our women's scuba rash guards are designed for divers who want full sun and sting protection without the bulk of a wetsuit. Whether you're diving warm tropical water as a standalone dive skin, layering under a wetsuit on a liveaboard, or spending a full day on a dive boat between dives, there's a style built for how you dive.

Choose from two styles, our full-length long-sleeve rash guard or our cropped rashie, both available in all ocean-inspired prints and designed to stay put under a BCD or wetsuit, through multiple dives, and all day on the boat.

Every rash guard we make is printed to order so nothing goes to waste, and every purchase plants a coral through our Save Our Seas Pledge. 🪸

FOR WARM WATER DIVING

YOUR RASH GUARD IS YOUR DIVE SKIN

In water above 28°C, the Maldives, Bali, the Red Sea, or the Caribbean, a quality rash guard is all you need. No wetsuit, no bulk, no overheating on the surface between dives.

Our rash guards are built specifically for this: lightweight enough to forget you're wearing them underwater, protective enough to replace chemical sunscreen entirely, and designed to stay put through three dives a day on a liveaboard.

Pair your rash guard with our scuba bikinis or scuba leggings for a complete dive skin setup.

NOT SURE WHICH STYLE?

HOW TO CHOOSE YOUR RASH GUARD for Diving

Choose the Full Length Long Sleeve Rash Guard if:
You want full-body coverage from collar to wrist, you're diving in jellyfish-prone waters, you want a standalone dive skin in tropical water, or you prefer a classic rash guard silhouette.

Choose the Cropped Rashie if:
You want sun and sting protection on your upper body with more freedom below, you're pairing it with a scuba bikini set, you run warm in the water, or you want a style that works as well on the boat as it does underwater.

Not sure on size?
Both styles are designed to fit snugly without restricting movement, snug enough to stay put under your wetsuit or BCD, comfortable enough to wear all day. Check our sizing on each product page before ordering.

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.

Frequently Asked Questions

Still deciding?

Are your rash guards suitable for scuba diving?

Yes, our rash guards are designed specifically for scuba diving. They're built to stay put under a BCD or wetsuit through multiple dives, won't ride up or bunch underwater, and are lightweight enough to wear as a standalone dive skin in warm water above 28°C. They also layer comfortably under a wetsuit, making it significantly easier to get your suit on and off.

What UPF rating do your rash guards have?

All our rash guards are rated UPF 50+, blocking up to 98% of harmful UV rays. This makes them an effective reef-safe alternative to chemical sunscreen in the water, no oxybenzone, no octinoxate, zero chemical runoff on the reef.

What's the difference between the full length rash guard and the cropped rashie?

The long sleeve rash guard provides full coverage from collar to wrist, ideal as a complete dive skin or for jellyfish-prone waters. The cropped rashie covers your upper body and pairs naturally with scuba bikini bottoms or high-waisted leggings, giving you sun and sting protection with more freedom below. Both are available in all our prints.

Are your rash guards made from recycled materials?

Our cropped rashie is made from recycled polyester in all production runs worldwide. Our full-length rash guard is made from recycled polyester in US production, EU production currently uses traditional polyester as we work toward a fully recycled global supply chain. Both styles are printed to order, eliminating overproduction waste entirely.

What sizes are available?

Our full length rash guard is available in sizes XS–3XL. Our cropped rashie is available in sizes XXS–6XL, making it one of our most size-inclusive styles. Check the size guide on each product page before ordering.

Can I wear a rash guard under my wetsuit?

Absolutely, and we highly recommend it. A rash guard under your wetsuit makes it significantly easier to get the suit on and off, prevents chafing from neoprene contact, adds a layer of warmth, and improves the fit of rental wetsuits. It's one of the most practical tips we give to divers heading on a liveaboard.

Does my purchase really plant corals?

Yes, every Dive Compass order plants a coral through our Save Our Seas Pledge, in partnership with Livingseas Foundation in Bali.

Fits under my wetsuit

Beautiful wish was a little longer to cover my stomach

Wonderful

I got this suit after many disappointing suits. This one fits well, feels secure, and doesn’t have cups or squeezing fabric or any of that stuff you don’t want when you’re diving. Can’t wait to get it in the ocean. For fit, I am 5’2” and 180 lbs.

This bikini fits my girlfriend so well it's poetry:
Waves lap, splash her curves
Ocean Serene bikini
Happy Wet Woman!

I would strongly recommend this bikini as a gift to anyone hoping to convince their girlfriend to move to the Caribbean to live, work, and play by the sea. Not just because of the robust construction of the swimsuit, but because of the excellent customer service experience you're in for with Andrea/The Dive Compass.

I'm obsessed with this new print

I love the colors, pattern, and the fit of this bikini! 10/10

Such a cute design! The fit is perfectly!

Perfect bottoms for diving!

I’m obsessed with my whale shark bikini! 🐋💙 The fabric is so soft, the fit is amazing, and it gives the perfect amount of support. I felt incredibly cute and confident wearing it — it covers exactly where it needs to while still feeling sexy and cute. Perfect for diving or just a beach day ! It’s easily my new favorite bikini! 🌊✨ Lo amo!!!

I love this swimsuit! It’s great quality

Very nice design and material. For diving in warm waters or under the wetsuit - but it's too cute to hide it ;-) The size runs quite big, you could choose the smaller one.

I love the bikini top. It's so comfortable, top quality and the design is very cute. I wear it with a normal black bottom and it looks very nice together.

Love the quality and design! So unique and fits great.

Beautiful! The quality and unique design are just what I needed. I love diving and wanted a rash guard that was not the typical mass produced look. I bought this design and love it so much, I will be on the lookout for new styles from this company. Awesome quality and comfortable too! Love it!

My favorite purchase as the fit is good and the print is pretty!

Comfortable, loose fit and awesome prints.

Pretty print! I think these will fit well under a wet suit. Take your time to really measure yourselves before ordering!

Very pretty and good quality top! Don't have a photo yet as I've not gone diving with it, but soon!

This is my third diving bikini I've purchased from the dive compass and I can't get enough!

I absolutely love these Bikinis! I'm stocking up for my liveabord in Egypt!

I am obsessed!!! This suit is sooo soft and so cute!!

This is a perfect rash guard!! Exactly what I was hoping for. It fit perfectly, is so well made and great quality material, protected me from the sun and sea critters, and looks so great!! Perfect for snorkeling or diving or any other water activity. Got tons of compliments and everyone kept asking me where I got it!! Was thrilled to tell them about this company, which donates 10% to ocean conservation! Will definitely be buying more!

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!

Perfect love the shipping updates

Hi Christy! We're so glad you loved the shipping updates. Thanks for your wonderful review!

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!

Everyone keeps asking where I got my rash guards and bikinis - and they're amazing quality and a good thickness for diving!

I'm thrilled to hear you love the rash guards and bikinis. Thanks for sharing your experience and for spreading the word about The Dive Compass!

I LOVE my dive compass bikinis and rashguards! I'm a dive instructor so it is super important that my swimsuits are supportive and can hold up to swimming and being active. The dive compass absolutely nails it - the suits are cute, comfortable, & stay put. i also love the commitment to sustainability and protecting the reefs!

Thanks Megan, I'm so glad you love our swimwear!

Perfect customer service!

Delivery was fast and the quality is outstanding.

The items are good quality and extremely pretty!

The items are good quality and extremely pretty! The best things about this business is how it gives back to ocean conservation efforts - that's why I purchased from them. The customer service is top notch!

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!

Bought the shirt that matches the leggings. Looks and feels great. Should have a cover as pretty as the sea creatures.

Hi Peggy! I'm so glad you love the matching shirt and leggings, thanks for sharing! Happy diving!

I've bought other dive leggings before, and since I have curves, the fabric sometimes stretches thin and loses the fabric pattern. These were a pleasant surprise. They are so well-made! The fabric stays in place and is pliable and soft enough to move with my body without distorting or straining the fabric…or feeling like I’ve cut off circulation.

And it must be said…this fabric is simply gorgeous… almost like a watercolor painting. Stylish, super comfortable, and I have no doubt they will be incredibly functional in the water on my upcoming liveaboard to the Philippines!

Hi Cheryl, thank you so much for your wonderful review! I'm so happy to hear you love the design and fit of the leggings, and I hope they serve you well on your upcoming adventure. Happy diving!

This was my first order with Dive Compass, and I'm thrilled! I bought this rash guard and the matching leggings for an upcoming trip to the Philippines…hopefully good luck for whale shark sightings!

I was genuinely impressed with the quality of this top. It fit great and felt sturdier than similar items I've bought from other brands. I can't wait to put it to the test in the water!

Hi Cheryl, I'm so happy to hear you're thrilled with your first order! Wishing you the best of luck with the whale shark sightings in the Philippines, I hope your new rash guard serves you well. Thanks so much for choosing The Dive Compass!

I loved it! The quality was superior and the fit was perfect! I ordered three pieces…the bikini top, bottoms and shorts!

Hi Janet, I'm so happy to hear that you loved all three pieces you ordered, I hope you have some amazing dives wearing them!

Seems good quality and a good fit

Hi Don, thank you so much for your nice review and your support of Livingseas! Your donation shirt plants 18 coral fragments and donates one reef star structure to Livingseas Foundation to help reach the 500K corals planted goal! Your support means the world to us!
