Artwork of a player in a Wet Suit from New Leaf

A Wet Suit is a clothing item introduced in Animal Crossing: New Leaf. It allows the player to go swimming in the sea and catch sea creatures.

Wet Suits, along with diving and sea creatures, were added in Animal Crossing: New Horizons in Wave 1 of the Free Summer Update.

Obtaining

In New Leaf, Wet Suits come in nine patterns and are obtainable only on Tortimer Island in exchange for 40 Tortimer Medals. Along with several other tools, a Rental Wet Suit is available while the player is on the island. In New Horizons, Wet Suits can be purchased from the Nook Stop or Nook's Cranny.

Usage

Players can enter the sea by pressing "A" while adjacent to it. To swim faster, players must tap "A" quickly. Players can dive with "Y" and move while underwater with "A". Once players have touched a dark spot in the water, they will catch it and reveal what it is. Players cannot stay underwater for long, but the longer they are underwater the faster they move.

Players can also leap from cliffs and into the sand or the sea by standing near the cliff and pressing "A".

Players cannot wear other clothes while they are wearing a Wet Suit; only shoes, headwear and accessories remain visible. Other clothing articles remain worn under the wet suit, but cannot be seen nor removed until the wet suit is removed.

The same rules apply in New Horizons, and the player is now able to swim automatically by pressing and holding the A button, albeit slightly slower than by tapping the A button.

Players cannot enter the Able Sisters changing room while wearing a Wet Suit or save one to a slot on a Wand.

Trivia

  • If the player gets out of the water at night in New Leaf, they will shiver.
  • If the player creates a save file after Wave 1 of the Summer Update in New Horizons, the wet suit is able to be bought from Tommy on the first proper day, and the player is able to access the places usually inaccessible at that point, even before Blathers gives them the recipe for the vaulting pole.
