Designed for diving, snorkeling, swimming, surfing, kiting, winging... you get the idea. If the ocean is your happy place but you recognize the importance of skin protection, these suits are for you! Versatile too - wear it alone or as a base layer to help you easily slip in and out of your wetsuit on those colder days.
White sandy beaches may take the spotlight, but Florida is home to 1,000 freshwater springs, the highest density in the world. A birds-eye view of the forest often reveals a magnificent pool of freshwater emerging from the aquifer below. Jump in and you may experience the coveted feeling of flight as you soar in the air-clear water.

Florida evokes daydreams of white sandy beaches and palm trees – but perhaps the most magnificent water in Florida lies just out of sight. In the Sunshine State, water fills the limestone cavities of the Floridan aquifer beneath our feet. This is the source of drinking water for 92% of Floridians. But this water is not always hidden - where it finds its way to the surface, it forms marvelous freshwater springs, which support not only human life in Florida but also incredibly diverse and unique aquatic ecosystems. In fact, Florida is home to the highest density of freshwater springs in the world – more than 1,000 of them dot the karst landscape of the sunny peninsula.
Unfortunately, increasing development and growing pressures on water resources are having negative impacts on Florida’s springs. Over the past 15 or 20 years, Florida’s burgeoning population has had a plethora of consequences for the springs, namely decreases in flow due to over-pumping and a transition from native underwater grasses to nasty algae. Nitrate levels in the springs have skyrocketed and ecosystem dynamics have changed as food webs are altered.
Thankfully there are many passionate citizens and non-profit organizations that advocate for our springs, work to protect them, and raise awareness about their unique beauty as well as their decline. One of these groups is the Alachua Conservation Trust, a non-profit regional land trust created to address the need of protecting critical natural lands from development and degradation in North Central Florida. 10% of profits from our springs prints go their Young Leaders for Wild Florida program. YLWF supports participants to become Florida's next generation of environmental leaders through educational outdoor adventures, workshops with leaders in our community exploring environmental issues and career paths, and student-led advocacy projects.
"Thanks to the support of Waterlust and its customers, ACT's Young Leaders for Wild Florida Program continues to successfully provide youth education on freshwater springs protection and land protection to Florida's future generations of leaders. Partnering with Waterlust on these efforts is both rewarding and critical to conserving Florida's precious natural resources."

Fountain of Youth FULL-BODY Sun Suit
I’m a little old lady surfer, spent my life in the sun and water. I don’t dare go to a dermatologist - they’ll skin me alive! This suit is fabulous. Full protection because I’m staying in the sun and water for as long as I can!
I live in close proximity to many of our amazing springs in Florida. Thank you for supporting the efforts to preserve and protect them.

I haven't been in the water with this thing yet but I'm incredibly impressed with the material, fit, and level of comfort! They fit a little looser than leggings in the medium and are really comfortable.
I have two Scubapro dive skins and I haven’t touched them since my Waterlust one arrived. It is the most comfortable and BEST skin I’ve used. The material is excellent, I love that I can customize the length and it is SO comfy. The swim tops and leggings are also great! My daughter and I are hooked! Please make the spotted eagle ray in a full suit!
Absolutely LOVE! Comfy, feels well-made, and the company has an amazing vision with great customer service. Only complaint I have is that it's not in a blue-ringed octopus print :)
