UPF 50+ Divewear Built to Stay Put Underwater

From full-length rash guards and scuba leggings to diving bikinis and cropped rashies, our women's divewear collection is built around one question: will it hold up on the reef?

UPF 50+ protection. Stay-put fit. Recycled fabric that moves with your body at depth.

DESIGNED FOR SCUBA DIVING

DIVEWEAR THAT PERFORMS WHERE IT COUNTS.

Most women's swimwear wasn't designed with a BCD or wetsuit in mind. Tops that ride up when you pull on your wetsuit. Bikini ties that come undone gearing up on a rocking boat. Fabric that bunches under your weight belt and distracts you mid-dive.

The Dive Compass women's divewear collection was built to fix every one of those problems. Every piece is engineered around the specific demands of scuba diving and snorkeling:

Stay-put fit under your BCD and wetsuit. Our rash guards, scuba leggings, and dive bikinis are cut and constructed to stay exactly where you put them, from the surface to depth and back again. No riding up. No bunching. No adjusting mid-dive.

UPF 50+ sun protection. Every piece in our divewear collection blocks 98% of UV rays, critical for long surface intervals, liveaboard days, and the hours between dives when sun exposure adds up fast. Wear your rash guard as a dive skin in warm tropical water and skip chemical sunscreen in the water entirely.

Four-way stretch recycled fabric. Our divewear is made from recycled polyester with four-way stretch, fabric that moves with your body at depth, not against it. No restriction, no resistance, no gear fighting you when you should be focused on the reef.

Flat ergonomic seams. Seam placement matters when you're wearing a wetsuit for three dives a day. Our rash guards and leggings are constructed with flat seams designed to sit comfortably under dive gear without chafing or pressure points.

WHAT TO WEAR SCUBA DIVING

THE COMPLETE WOMEN'S DIVEWEAR GUIDE.

Not sure what to wear scuba diving? Here's how each piece in our women's divewear collection works in the water:

Full-Length Rash Guard — Your most versatile dive layer. Wear it as a standalone dive skin in warm tropical water above 28°C, or layer it under your wetsuit in cooler conditions. UPF 50+ protection, stay-put fit, and flat seams that sit comfortably under your BCD or wetsuit for full dive days. Our long-sleeve rash guard is the piece divers reach for first, and the one that stays in the bag longest.

Cropped Rashie — All the same benefits as the full length rash guards, but a cropped length. The warm-water essential. Pair with your scuba leggings or diving bikini bottoms for a full dive skin in tropical conditions, or layer under your wetsuit for added warmth and protection. Shorter length means it works as a base layer without adding bulk.

Scuba Leggings — Full-length coverage from hip to ankle. Built from four-way stretch recycled fabric with pockets and a crossover waistband that stays put under a wetsuit or weight belt. Worn as a standalone dive skin in warm water or as a thermal base layer underneath a wetsuit, scuba leggings are one of the most practical pieces any tropical diver can own.

Scuba Bikini — Our signature piece. Designed specifically for diving, supportive construction, stay-put fit, and secure ties that don't come undone gearing up or getting in and out of a wetsuit. Available as a full set or as separates so you can mix tops and bottoms across our full print library.

WEAR IT AS A DIVE SKIN. LAYER IT UNDER YOUR WETSUIT.

ONE COLLECTION. TWO WAYS TO DIVE.

The best thing about quality divewear is its versatility. Every piece in The Dive Compass women's divewear collection works two ways:

As a standalone dive skin in warm tropical water — the Maldives, Indonesia, the Great Barrier Reef, & the Caribbean. When water temperatures are above 28°C, a rash guard or scuba leggings worn as a dive skin gives you full UPF 50+ sun protection, sting protection from near-invisible jellyfish, and coral scrape protection, without the bulk and heat of a wetsuit on the surface.

As a base layer under your wetsuit in cooler conditions. A rash guard worn under your wetsuit creates a smooth, low-friction layer that makes getting your wetsuit on significantly easier, especially on a rocking boat. It also helps a slightly loose rental wetsuit fit more snugly, improving thermal insulation. If you've ever struggled into a wetsuit on a dive boat, a rash guard underneath changes everything.

Both uses. One collection. Built for every dive.

Coral reefs need our help

Your purchase plants corals

Over 50% of the world's coral reefs have been lost since the 1950s. The divers who choose The Dive Compass know this, and they choose gear that does something about it.

Every women's divewear purchase plants corals in the heart of the Coral Triangle in Bali, Indonesia with Livingseas Foundation. We've dived these reefs. We've seen what a healthy reef looks like — and what it looks like when it's dying. That's why every piece of gear we make gives something back.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I wear The Dive Compass divewear for scuba diving?

Yes, every piece in our women's divewear collection is specifically designed for scuba diving and snorkeling. Our rash guards, scuba leggings, and diving bikinis are built with a stay-put fit that doesn't bunch under your BCD or wetsuit, flat seams for comfort under dive gear, and four-way stretch recycled fabric that moves freely at depth. This is divewear built for the ocean, not the pool.

Should I wear a rash guard or wetsuit for diving?

It depends on water temperature. In warm tropical water above 28°C — the Maldives, Indonesia, the Great Barrier Reef, the Caribbean — a long-sleeve UPF 50+ rash guard worn as a dive skin is often all you need. It provides full sun protection, sting protection, and coral scrape protection without the heat and bulk of a wetsuit on the surface. In cooler water below 28°C, wear your rash guard as a base layer underneath your wetsuit for easier entry and added warmth. Read our full guide: Rash Guard vs Wetsuit.

Does the divewear offer UV protection?

Yes. Every piece in our women's divewear collection offers UPF 50+ protection, blocking 98% of UV rays. Worn as a dive skin, our rash guards and scuba leggings eliminate the need for chemical sunscreen in the water, protecting both your skin and the reef.

Our women's divewear collection runs from XXS to 6XL depending on the style. Check individual product pages for exact sizing and refer to the size chart on each product page.

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!
