The Dottie is Abysse's warm water shorty springsuit. Named after Dottie May Frazier who was an American diver, designer, and dive shop owner who became the first certified female scuba instructor in 1955, the first woman to own a dive shop, and an innovator of wetsuits for women.

Long sleeves and a short-leg cut provide upper body warmth and extra leg coverage, with a second-skin fit that stays in place from the first paddle to the last wave. Designed for tropical and warm coastal conditions, it delivers light warmth, rash protection and UPF 50+ coverage without the bulk of a full wetsuit.

Made with Yamamoto limestone neoprene, sourced from calcium carbonate, not petroleum. Softer, lighter, and more heat-efficient than conventional neoprene. A back-zip entry makes it quick and easy to get in and out before and after sessions.

Key details

Fit note
The Dottie is made with a very stretchy neoprene. If you are between sizes, we recommend sizing down. Wetsuits should feel snug with no gaps at the lower back or neck.
