Whoa! I have what I'm hoping is an isolated sea louse incident on my lower neck area. Probably from today.
Scubakevdm:
Hrmmmmmmm!!! Weren't you the same guy that suggested I dive naked to avoid anymore sealice encounters....... lol!!!

baitedstorm:
Yes, yes I was. The good news is that the welt has left the building, so I guess I didn't get sea lice. The bad news is that the sweet potato migrated from the front to the back due to high current today.

Okay! Hey, it's that time of year again... I have discovered a sea-louse like welt upon my neck. Water temps hit 78 degrees today... brace yourselves!
I believe that when sealice are about you shouldnt dive neck-edbaitedstorm:

Hey Kevin, do you think maybe you got them from the other day snorkeling - aren't they primarily near the surface? (I guess we will buy a bottle of safesea as soon as the plane lands!)

:laughing: you faking a southern accent is just way funnier than that whole "things are just dandy" thingy.... hehehehehehehehe! your crack me up dude!simbrooks:
Sea lice DO congregate near the surface... right about Safety stop depth! 
However, a thourough fresh water rinse on ScubaKevDM's boat will really minimize those nasties. They usually "fire" as they dry, and they also accumulate in areas like shirt necks and waistbands. So rinse them off while they are still healthy and wet and you may avoid getting the rash.
