DEET types reportedly can damage neoprene so we used Natropel instead.
Roatan temp and bug spray types?

Last a CCV, I got a few bites the first day and then pretty much remained bite free through the rest of the stay. My experience on multiple AKR trips was pretty much the same. Less bug activity up on the hillside (I MUCH preferred hillside to key - and I think a dockside dining room was a horrible idea.).

My next stay on Roatan I'm going to take a wrists to ankles ultralightweight outfit. They make these outfits that are like jogging suits but made of silk or cotton or something that breathes. The diving is sooo worth it but the bites are pretty bad.

I enjoyed my trip to Roatan but the bugs had such a man crush on me that I probably wouldn’t go back. There’s plenty of affordable places I haven’t visited that don’t have nearly as many bugs and also have similar or better diving imo. And I used some hard core bug repellent that’s worked in many different places.
