FAQ's

What’s the story behind Deep Sea Prints?

Deep Sea Prints is a small, family-run brand built by divers, for divers. After thousands of dives (and just as many bad T-shirt designs), we decided it was time to make something better — tees that actually get the inside jokes, the gear obsession, and the deep love we all share for the ocean.

Why do your shirts cost more than some others?

We get it — $34.99 isn’t “cheap” for a T-shirt. But we don’t do cheap.

Every Deep Sea Prints design is printed to order on ultra-soft, premium cotton (Gildan 64000), shipped from the U.S., and helps remove 5 plastic bottles from the ocean through our Greenspark partnership.

You're supporting a diver-run small business — not a faceless print warehouse.

We also offer automatic bundle savings:

  • Buy 2 — save $2 per shirt

  • Buy 3+ — save $4 per shirt + get free U.S. shipping if your cart hits $75

And if something’s off? Our 30-day guarantee has you covered.

What exactly am I getting when I order?

You’re getting more than just a T-shirt.

You’re getting a soft, U.S.-printed tee made to order, designed by divers, and built for surface intervals, post-dive beers, and unsolicited gear talk. We print on ultra-soft Gildan 64000 blanks — pre-shrunk, true-to-size, and made to last.

With every order:

  • ♻️ 5 plastic bottles are pulled from the ocean (via Greenspark)

  • 🖨️ Your shirt is printed just for you — no stockpiles, no waste

  • 🧜 You’re joining the Deep Sea Prints crew — the tribe that lives for fins, jokes, and cotton that actually feels good

TL;DR: You're getting your new favorite dive shirt — and probably a compliment from your buddy.

Where are your shirts made and shipped from?

All our T-shirts are printed and shipped in the USA using high-quality blanks. That means quicker delivery, soft shirts, and no international mystery delays.

What kind of T-shirts do you use?

We use Gildan 64000 — ultra-soft, durable, and perfect for post-dive chilling, boat rides, or just repping your dive obsession on dry land.
No scratchy fabric. No boxy fits. Just good, comfortable cotton.

How do I wash my dive shirt?

Wash it like your dive gear depends on it:

  • Turn it inside out

  • Cold wash

  • Tumble dry low (or hang it next to your wetsuit)

  • No bleach, no ironing over the print

It'll last longer than your last pair of booties.

Why does it feel a little stiff when it arrives?

Totally normal. That’s just the ink doing its thing. One wash and it’ll feel like a well-loved tee — minus the salt crust.

What does Made-to-Order mean?

Every shirt is printed just for you after you order it. No piles of stock, no waste, and it means we can keep releasing new designs without overproducing. Sustainable and streamlined.

Do you offer returns or exchanges?

We don’t offer returns, but if something’s off — wrong size, print issue, shipping damage — we’ll fix it.
Just email us at support@deepseaprints.com within 30 days with your order number and a photo. We’ll make it right.

Do you ship internationally?

Right now, we only ship within the USA. If that changes, we’ll let you know (and probably make a T-shirt about it).

Shipping & Delivery – Deep Sea Prints

Where are your shirts made and shipped from?

All our T-shirts are printed and shipped from the USA using high-quality blanks. That means soft shirts, faster delivery, and zero international mystery delays.

Do you ship internationally?

Not yet — we currently ship within the USA only. If that ever changes, we’ll let you know (and probably celebrate with a T-shirt about it).

How long does shipping take?

Orders are printed and packed within 2–3 business days.
From there, U.S. shipping usually takes 3–5 business days.
Remote areas and islands might take a little longer — especially if you're ordering from a dive boat.

How much is shipping?

Standard shipping is a flat $4.97.
Spend $75 or more and shipping’s free — more budget for tanks and tacos.

Will I get tracking info?

Yep! You’ll get a tracking email as soon as your order ships.
If it’s been more than 5 business days and you haven’t seen it, give us a shout: support@deepseaprints.com

What is Shipping Protection and how does it work?

Shipping Protection is a $1.95 optional add-on that covers your order if it gets lost, stolen, or damaged in transit. If something goes wrong, we’ll send you a replacement — no forms, no fuss.

It’s added automatically at checkout, but you can remove it if you’d rather take the risk (we wouldn’t 😉).

Do you run discounts or promos?

We do — especially for new designs, big holidays, or just when we feel generous.

Do these shirts make me a better diver?

Sadly, no. But they’ll make you look like you know what you’re doing — and sometimes, that’s half the battle.
