How to protect your skin from severe sunburn on dive trips, especially in tropical environments.
Sunburn on dive trips is a common problem because being absorbed in diving makes us neglect protection.
Why divers are more exposed to sunburn
Water intensifies the reflection of ultraviolet rays. Waiting time on the boat or the shore without a suit exposes the skin to intense rays.
Correct protection
Mineral sunscreen
Use mineral sunscreens such as zinc oxide, not chemical ones that harm coral reefs.
Sun-protective clothing
Ultraviolet-resistant shirts provide better protection than any cream for a long time.
A hat and sunglasses
They are necessary on the boat, especially in peak hours between ten and three.
After sunburn
- Burned skin needs intensive moisturizing, not oils
- Avoid sun exposure again until the redness disappears
- Severe sunburn needs medical care
Your skin remembers every burn. Protect it, because protecting your skin is easier than treating it.
