A soft, stretchy, and resilient long-sleeve suit that blocks over 98% of harmful UVA and UVB radiation from the sun (UPF 50+, the highest rating achievable) and protects you from stinging critters.
The coral reef ecosystems that cover our globe provide essential food and habitat to over 25% of all marine life. The parrotfish is a common animal found among these ecosystems and are a crucial keystone species, responsible for cleaning the corals from harmful algae. The abundance of parrotfish can be related directly to the health of our coral reef ecosystems. 5% of sales will be donated to Reef Relief, a nonprofit organization dedicated to improving and protecting our coral reef ecosystem.
Our signature fabric is sleek, soft, and luxurious, while strong, substantial, and resilient. It's got a gummy, supportive, and smoothing stretchiness you'll love, comfortably hugging you in all the right places.
Main fabric: 88% Repreve® RPET (recycled polyester made from post-consumer plastic bottles), 12% spandex
Zipper: polyacetal resin (tough, high strength thermoplastic)
Zipper pull: high tensile strength nylon paracord
Safe, premium performance yarns: Our high-quality, fully traceable yarns are sourced through sustainable partners in the U.S. These materials meet rigorous chemical safety standards and are independently verified for over 1,000 harmful substances like BPA and PFAS through OEKO-TEX® STANDARD 100 certification.
High-quality, responsible printing: Our products are printed using heat transfer sublimation, a printing technique that is widely considered to be the safest for both workers and the environment. It requires no water, eliminates dye from entering water systems, and minimizes ink and fabric waste. All the inks and dyes we use are also OEKO-TEX® STANDARD 100 certified.
Recycled materials, minimal waste: Our commitment to environmental responsibility starts with sustainable fibers and yarns. We use synthetic yarns made from recycled plastic bottles, which helps remove and repurpose existing plastic.

While parrotfish come in many amazing colors and patterns, this print is inspired by a male, terminal phase spotted parrotfish, native to the Indo-Pacific. Considered the most effective reef grazer, parrotfish serve an important function in maintaining the health of coral reefs. In fact, a 2014 IUCN report surveyed the health of Caribbean coral reefs from 1970-2012 and found that one of the most impactful actions we can take to restore the health of coral reef habitat is to protect parrotfish!

If that isn’t reason enough to love these bright and beautiful fish, an individual poops up to 200 lbs of sand a year, a critical source of sediment for beaches! For example, in Vakkaru Island in the Maldives, a 2015 study found that over 85% of their beach sand had been produced by parrotfish!

I was a big fan of this brand for a long time before pulling the trigger on an order. Both the Fountain of Youth and the Parrotfish patterns appealed to me. I'm 5'5", 135lbs with measurements of: Hips = 38.4, Waist = 30 and Bust of 35 (32 inch band size). Both the medium and small fit, but I decided to go with the medium. The biggest differences (other than overall snugness) was that the small cut in a little more at the hips and was a lot tighter in the neck. I ended up going with the parrotfish pattern, but overall found the fit and quality to be top notch. I wore the sun suit and leggings daily on a trip to Roatan and loved everything about the pieces from sun protection, warmth and style! I did prefer to wear the sun suit over a bikini so that I could transition out of the suit in our outdoor shower more easily. I also liked having the extra bust support by adding a bikini top underneath. Ultimately the pinks, greens and blues of the parrotfish pattern meshed with all the colors of swim suits that I already owned. FYI - there are two pics of me in just the sun suit. The one with my left arm down is the medium and the one with my left arm bent is the small.
This is my 3rd Waterlust sunsuit, they are absolutely stunning and perfect for diving in the Florida Springs which run at 72 degrees year round. They give me enough warmth coupled with flexibility for freediving. I’m 5’10” with long limbs and hips/booty from my mama… the large fits me perfectly!! If I fall into any sun of money I’ll get every single sunsuit the offer lol
Perfect fit, comfortable, and with a great design that gets compliments on every dive trip. Shout out to Waterlust and their team for making sure they produce a great product that keeps up coming back.
