Sea Hare takes the qipao and turns it into something you can actually swim in. The neckline ties high at the throat, a small keyhole opens beneath it, and the body follows the close, curving line of a cheongsam — only here the fabric is neoprene, the edges are bound in black, and the leg is cut high enough to kick without catching.
It is a single sleeveless piece, so your arms and shoulders stay bare. That is most of the reason it feels light in the water and easy to move in on land, and it is why this is a suit for long, warm afternoons of swimming and floating rather than cold, deep dives.
You will see it listed as the Christmas Series wetsuit, and it is one of the shapes that line is built around. If you have been scrolling through our 2 mm neoprene bikini store looking for something with more cut than a plain swimsuit, this is the piece that carries it.

Two millimetres is a light layer, and it is worth being clear about what that means. It takes the chill off water that is already pleasant, keeps the sun off your back through a long session and gives a little buoyancy, but it is not insulation for cold seas. In bracing water you will feel it in the first minute, and again as soon as you stop moving.
Wind matters as much as water temperature once you are wet. With an open back and no sleeves, the suit sheds heat quickly on deck, so keep a towel or a dry top within reach for the ride back.
On cooler days the usual approach is to wear it as a base under a thicker spring suit or a vest. The smooth metallic face slides under a second layer without grabbing, and the halter sits flat under a collar.
Everything in our 2 mm neoprene bikini store at this weight is aimed at the same window — warm seas, pools, lagoons and summer coastal water. If you need to stay in for an hour in water that makes you catch your breath, go up in thickness rather than layering more neoprene on top.
None of that changes because of the qipao bikini wetsuit cut. The coverage matches any sleeveless suit at this weight; the difference is where the neckline sits and how the panels are shaped.
Not every warm-water day calls for a halter and a keyhole. If you would rather have a zip, the Siren Front Zip Warmth Bikini/Bodysuit 3 mm adds a little more thickness with a full-length front entry. TRUDIVE Open Back glide skin wetsuit Cut Bikini keeps the open back but drops the qipao detailing for a plainer, sportier line. TRUDIVE Zipper glide skin spring wetsuit Cut Bikini sits between the two, with a zip entry and a cut-away leg. And if you are shopping for someone else, Men's Glide Skin Classic Freediving Wetsuit is the men's piece in the same smooth finish.
TRUDIVE is an independent water-sports brand built around a simple idea: warm-water divewear that feels like you rather than equipment. Our online store opened in 2021, and we have been designing and refining our own wetsuit collections ever since, guided by fit feedback from divers, snorkelers and swimmers. You will also find us on Instagram, Facebook, YouTube, Xiaohongshu and Bilibili, where we share real sessions, styling and sizing tips. Questions about fit, care or an order reach our own team directly, before and after you buy.
The body is 2 mm neoprene finished with a smooth metallic face, and the edges are bound rather than left raw. The exact neoprene grade and lining are not printed on this listing, so if you need the current specification for the batch you are buying, ask us and we will confirm it before you commit.
XS to 3XL as standard, plus short and tall fittings under the same size numbers — so an M exists in a standard, a short and a tall cut. The chart above carries height, weight, chest, waist and hips for the standard sizes; the short and tall versions keep those body measurements and change the length.
Considerably. There is no sleeve to haul over your wrists and no back zip to reach for — you step in, tie the halter and you are dressed. Getting out is the same in reverse, which is a large part of why it works as holiday edition swimwear: you can change on a boat deck or a public beach without a fight.
No. The halter holds the front close, the keyhole is small enough to stay flat, and the high leg leaves your hips free through the kick. Set the tie before you get in — a halter knotted loosely will lift at the back of the neck when you put your head down to swim.
Yes. This piece sits at the warm-water end of the collection, and the thicker 3 mm styles and the long-sleeve cuts are the next step up for cooler water or longer sessions. Tell us the water you usually swim in and how long you stay in, and we will point you at the right weight instead of leaving you to guess from thickness alone.
Silver is a cool grey metallic with black trim; Purple is a lilac with the same sheen and the same black edging. Both read deeper in shade and brighter in direct sun, and both photograph slightly lighter than they look in the water.
