This dive skin is exactly what I was looking for! It's pink (!!!) and the cut is really comfortable. It's long enough to tuck into my wetsuit so that it doesn't ride up during the dive, and after the dive it dries really quickly. Also, it makes it SUPER easy to get into my wetsuit (semi-dry), even when wet.
One thing to note - dive skins are supposed to be very form-fitting/ tight, but you might want to order 1 size up on this skin. I typically wear a size 10 top (I'm a 36C, 5'7", 160 lb...s, "pear" shaped, henderson wetsuit size 8) and in this top I find the 12 to be the perfect fit. I was worried it might be a little big, but I followed the sizing chart (it said to order a 12) and the chart gave me a perfect fit - so follow the chart!!
Overall, I love this shirt. I'll probably buy a second one. I wish they had matching pants - but they only have matching shorts - which don't help you get the wetsuit on and off. GREAT product!
Bought both colors and they are both cute, expecially the blue one is my faverite. My usual size for wetsuite is Henderson Thermoplane front zipper in 6, but I chose size 10 in this Mares shirt and I am glad I did since they run smaller and I don't like shirts to be tight around my chest or shoulders. I bought them for my Little Cayman dive trip this summer to protect myself from the sun during the surface time but ended up not wearing much as the dive boat had plenty of roof. I think I will... wear them next time when I dive in tropical but winter season and / or night dives to give me extra layer. They look very cute so I might just wear them when I do yard work, too. lol

5'4 and weigh 115, 34B and like the size 10 for flexibility. It depends on how you want to use it--more swimming or on land. On land I might size up so it's not so fitted, but if you only plan to swim with it, I'd get 8 so it's not too loose in the water. I went 10 since I do both, and it works. Arms are quite long, so you should be all set even if you get the smaller size (I fit most long sleeves perfectly in size small, but these arms are extra long for me)

I am 5’4” , 120 pounds and wear a 34B swim top and the small fits me very well. If you have a larger chest you may want a medium. I wear this under a neoprene 3 mm dive vest.

This is the top ( shirt ) only.

Is is to keep you warm while doing water arobics ?
JAIME M
I use it for scuba diving in 84 degree water, gives me a nice toasty feeling. Assume it would work equally well for aerobics.
ELIZABETH J
I have not used in this fashion. But it did very nicely under my wetsuit to provided added insulation in 68 degree water. So, I would think as a cover up for water aerobics it should do fine to a maintain comfortable body temp. It also did well to keep me warm and comfortable during breaks when I stripped the wetsuit and only had on shirt on.
TAMMIE C
Hi . I think it would definitely help keep you a little warmer during water aerobics. I've worn mine several times in the pool just for a little extra warmth.
GINA I
I use it diving in the islands from scraps. Can be used for warmth.
LOUIS G
It dose help keep you a little warmer, nothing like a wet suit and there is some UV protection
KATHRYN P
I used it for Scuba diving but it would work well wearing it for water aerobics.
ELLEN T
Yes, that's what I bought it for, but it really doesn't take away that first chill getting in the water, but then my shortie wetsuit doesn't either.
CHARLES L
Negative.

I'm unclear what size to get I'm 5'3", size 6, 118 lbs, but my chest is 34-36. I fear getting the 8 or 10 will be too big around abdomin. Your thoughts? Thanks.
DOREEN G
I am 5'5" and I weigh 120 pounds and wear a size 6, and the size 10 was perfect. Love this rash guard and will order more.
DEBORAH R
I think you will be fine with the size 8- it runs a tiny but small-it is a wonderful shirt - love it
ALLISON R
I thought it ran big, particularly in the arms. It's also very stretchy. You might go with a smaller size.
