For sun-soaked shorelines, salty hair, long summer days, and the moments between dives that become the best memories. The Deep South Freediving Women’s Tee is for women who feel most alive in the ocean and most at home with a community that shares the same pull towards the blue.
The soft ocean-blue colour and clean DSF chest mark keep it effortless up front, while the bold Deep South Freediving print across the back lets you carry the community with you - on dive days, road trips, coastal walks, and everywhere else the ocean calls.
Tailored especially for women, this tee has a regular fit and is made from mid-weight 180 GSM, 100% combed cotton. Neck ribbing and double-needle hems add durability, while the preshrunk fabric helps minimise shrinkage and keep its fit over time.

Built for cold shorelines, early starts, post-dive warmth, and every adventure in between. The Deep South Freediving Men’s Hoodie is made for freedivers and ocean lovers who feel most at home near the water.
With a relaxed fit and heavyweight-feel 320 GSM fleece, it’s the hoodie you’ll reach for after a long session in the ocean, on the road to your next dive spot, or around the fire after a big day outside. The clean front DSF mark keeps it understated, while the bold Deep South Freediving back print lets your community know where you belong.
Made from an 80% cotton and 20% recycled polyester fleece blend, it features a pullover design, drop shoulders, self-fabric lined hood, kangaroo pocket, and ribbed cuffs for easy everyday comfort. The tear-out label keeps the finish minimal and distraction-free.
Better still, each hoodie helps save approximately eight 500 ml plastic bottles from landfill.
For those who explore, connect, and carry the ocean with them wherever they go.

A staple for days spent chasing clear water, packing the dive bag, and talking about the one that got away. The Deep South Freediving Men’s Tee is made for freedivers and ocean lovers who carry the feeling of the sea long after they’ve dried off.
Clean and understated from the front, with the DSF mark over the heart. Turn around and the bold Deep South Freediving back print makes the statement: you’re part of a community that explores deeper, looks after the ocean, and feels most at home in the blue.
Made from 100% combed cotton, this tee is designed to become a go-to rather than a throwaway. Neck ribbing, side seams, shoulder-to-shoulder tape, and double-needle hems give it a durable, quality finish, while the preshrunk fabric helps it hold its shape wash after wash.
For coastlines, dive days, road trips, and everywhere the ocean calls you next.
