Kids' Shorties for Diving, Snorkeling, and Water Sports
Kids' shorties are lightweight wetsuits designed to provide comfort, flexibility, and mild thermal protection in warm water. Made from soft, stretchable neoprene, these short wetsuits allow children to move freely while participating in scuba diving, snorkeling, swimming, surfing, and other water sports. Shorties are ideal for protecting young divers from sun exposure, minor abrasions, and mild water temperatures.
Key Features & Benefits of Kids' Shorties

Usage Tips for Kids' Shorties
- Select the appropriate size based on height and chest measurements to ensure a snug but comfortable fit.
- Rinse thoroughly with fresh water after each use to remove salt, sand, or chlorine.

Super easy to get on and off. Lots of power. I purchased the open box and they were like new, the only thing they looked used was the bag they came in. I ordered a regular. I’m 6.5 US women’s shoe size. Purchase for my drysuit.
I’ll get a lot of utility out of this piece. Love how compact it folds down.
Costs More But You Get More with this K2 - Scubapro Extreme undersuit. Switched from a 4 mm drysuit to a Scubapro Evertech drysuit and needed to make up the insulation. Started with Seac Unifleece but not enough warmth in 50-60 degree water, so I decided to go with this. And because it is padded up like a Batman body suit it’s more comfortable at depth when squeezed. I will take this snowboarding in Tahoe this winter too, to maximize the spend.
DiveCat. has good easy-to-shop site and their rewards/loyalty program is great.
