Good sunblock for diving

[slaterson19]

I was wondering what kind of sunblock you guys use when diving. I hate when it gets in my eyes when I'm 130ft. deep and can barely see anything. I know alot of sunblocks say they are sweat and waterproof but i believe that is a bunch of bull.

you are right, probably bull. I use bullfrog, by the way.

BullFrog gets my vote

I don't like to put sunblock on my face before I will be diving, so I wear a hat until after the last dive, then put on sunblock for the day. Otherwise, I'm taking my mask off every 3 minutes, rubbing my eyes, then putting the mask back on. I'm pretty good at clearing a mask now, but that's not really the way I wanted to go about getting proficient at it.

Ditto on Bullfrog.

Another vote for Bullfrog. It stays on, doesn't wash into my eyes or leave a little cloud behind on the water surface.
My follicularly challenged husband also wears a do-rag if he's not wearing a hood, in case the sunscreen wears off.

I use a broad-brimmed hat and lightweight long sleeve shirt. Sunscreen wreaks havoc on dry suit seals.

Yup, but I usually don't equate dry suit diving with needing sunscreen

I wear either a wetstui or a dry suit, hood, gloves, and a black skirted mask. Ive never gotten a sunburn while I was diving
