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 →

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!

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.

😊 love it

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!
