DiveSkins
DiveSkins are a Unisex design, and Height and Weight are the key factors in sizing whether a man or woman. The fabric has good 4 way stretch, and can accommodate a wide variety of body sizes and shapes. Height can be a challenge if really tall or really short. Mostly, this is a suit that is pretty true to size. It should be the tightest the first time you try it on, and relax after that, and relaxes in the water. If being worn to slip in and out of a wetsuit, you want it to fit like a second skin. If being worn by itself for sun and stinger protection, you can be more relaxed with the fit if you want. They have a substantial and very comfortable foot stirrups and thumbholes.

Excellent purchase
I knew Slipins.com on Instagram. I’m a scuba diver, I follow a lot of scuba diving/free diving profiles. I don’t remember the exact profile, but when I saw Slipins’ whale shark wetsuit, I immediately fell in love with it and so I decided to give a better look on the website. I found a lot of wonderful wetsuits! But the first love is never forgotten, so I decided to buy whale shark wetsuit. I wore it for the first time just two weeks ago when I was in Maldives: I was very proud to wear it and to show it, every diver remained impressed by the extraordinary design of the wetsuit. Trust me, it’s a jewel to wear! I think I’m going to buy other wetsuit with different fantasy because they are fantastic!!!
Amazing Customer Service
You have been an absolute pleasure to deal with! Amazing Customer Service! I have told my whole diving community about you! I cannot wait for my skin to arrive!
United StatesMore beautiful than functional
This certainly keeps you safe from the sun, that's number one. However, certain comfort details are lacking; the zipper at the top tends to cut into the skin, and it's also quite a tight neckline so there's no way to avoid the rub. The armpits are also a little bit chafing . . . for an easy day in the pool or at the beach it's not a big deal. If you want to surf or actually swim . . . you might be better off with a more comfy rashguard. It's a shame because the idea is perfect - I just wish they had taken care of some of these critical details. Ah yes, and having the zipper on the front is a real no-no - if you were to use a boogey board or anything, it will hurt.
CanadaNo more human dive map!
I was in Roatan with five amazing friends on a dive trip (them) and snorkel trip (me.) Day 1 we mixed up times for the dive boat and ended up running for it without having put on sun screen. They were okay because they were deep. Me up there on the surface of the water? My cross strap bathing suit made me look like a red dive map! My friend Kristy fixed me up for the rest of the week with her spare DiveSkin and I fell in love. I ordered my own as soon as we got home, Fits like a glove and the pattern is so pretty. Can't wait to use this paddleboarding this summer and on future overseas adventures.
United StatesGreat skin
I can get into it, but. 5x would suit me (6’4” 280) better. Hope the zippers hold. :) Haven’t dove with it yet but I’m looking forward to it!
United StatesSkin comfort!
I am very happy with the feel, look and fit of my new skin. It does the trick—easy to put wetsuit on over it and easier to take wetsuit OFF after! My biggest problem is getting it off. Practically impossible unless you are a contortionist. It doesn’t slip off the shoulders so I struggle struggle struggle to get my arms out!
United StatesWhale Shark Skin
Loved using this for diving. It helped save my skin from some jellyfish stings. The only criticism I have is that the whale shark pattern is sewn together so it makes a ****** looking shape to the crotch area
United StatesAmazing!!! Glad I finally took the plunge.
I’ve wanted this whale shark dive skin for years and I kept talking myself out of it. I was worried about sizing etc. I’m 5’6”, 150 and the medium fits perfectly! I’m glad I didn’t go by the chart. I cannot wait to go diving next!
SwitzerlandA second skin
Quick and easy to get on, feels like a second skin, and it makes getting into a long 4/5 mm wetsuit so easy!
United StatesCan't wait to try it out!
Haven't got to use it yet but excited to take it on vacation in June. Will revise once I try it out.
