Women's Wetsuits

At SALT Of The Sea, we believe women shouldn't have to choose between a suit built for surfing and one made for diving. Our collection of Women’s Wetsuits is born out of necessity, designed for those who find themselves catching waves in the morning and exploring reefs by the afternoon. We have listened to our community to create a range that balances high-performance stretch with essential thermal protection. Whether you are after a lightweight spring suit or a rugged steamer, our gear is engineered to fit the female form comfortably while standing up to the rigours of the Australian ocean.

What is this page best for?

This page is the ultimate destination for versatile Wetsuits and essential Diving Gear tailored specifically for women. It is best for multi-sport enthusiasts who need reliable equipment that performs across surfing, freediving, and spearfishing. You will find everything from high-stretch neoprene tops to full-length suits, all designed to be easy to get into without the need for lubricants. If you are looking for gear that moves with you and supports a lifestyle lived in and around the water, SALT Of The Sea has you covered.

Choosing the right thickness

Selecting the correct neoprene thickness is essential for staying comfortable during long sessions. Our range covers a variety of water temperatures:

• 1.5mm Wetsuits: Perfect for tropical reefs and summer surfs where you need protection from the sun and wind-chill without overheating.
• 3/2mm Wetsuits: The versatile standard for many Australian regions, providing the ideal mix of warmth and flexibility for shoulder seasons.
• 4/3mm & 5/4mm Wetsuits: Heavy-duty options for winter conditions or southern waters, ensuring maximum heat retention when the temperature drops.

Warmth, stretch and durability

We prioritise the three pillars of quality ocean gear: warmth, stretch, and durability. Our Spearfishing Wetsuits and steamers feature reinforced panels in high-wear areas to ensure they last season after season. We use premium neoprene that offers exceptional four-way stretch, allowing for a natural range of motion whether you are paddling for a wave or equalising on a descent. By focusing on smart seam placement and high-quality construction, we ensure that every SALT Of The Sea suit delivers professional-level performance for every water woman.

FAQs

How should a women's wetsuit fit?

A wetsuit should fit snugly, like a second skin, with no sagging in the underarms or crotch. It needs to be tight enough to trap a thin layer of water for insulation but flexible enough to allow you to breathe and move freely. If it feels slightly difficult to put on when dry, it is likely the right size, as neoprene loosens slightly once wet.

Do I need to use lube to get into these suits?

No. Unlike many traditional open-cell freediving suits, SALT Of The Sea wetsuits are designed with a lined interior that allows you to slip into them easily while dry. This makes them far more practical for quick transitions between the car and the surf or boat.

Can I use my surfing wetsuit for diving?

While you can use a surfing suit for recreational snorkelling, our dedicated diving and spearfishing models often feature specific cuts and reinforcements better suited to pressure at depth and the unique movements of diving. Our women's range is designed to be a "do-it-all" hybrid for maximum versatility.

How do I care for my wetsuit to ensure it lasts?

Always rinse your gear in fresh water after every session to remove salt, sand, and chlorine. Hang it to dry in the shade on a wide-shouldered hanger to prevent the neoprene from creasing or losing its shape. Never leave it in a hot car or direct sunlight, as this will cause the materials to degrade prematurely.
