Sea Lice

[Diver Kat]

Depends on each person's reaction. My DH gets a few stings and barely feels anything. His bites disappear quickly. I on the other hand, may get stung all over my neck, arms or legs; have severe itching for days; and the bites take weeks to disappear. I would guess that I have some sort of allergy to the little buggers. Most people don't seem too bothered by them. If you're wearing a wetsuit or skin, then you really only need SeaSafe for your neck & face, maybe the tops of your hands. Otherwise, yeah, you'd go thru a lot of the stuff for 3 people if you're using it on your whole body.

they are almost always very near the surface.
when i see small jellies above me i take out my 2nd stage and give them a shot of bubbles. not foolproof but it seems to save me from skin problems others get. even if it doesn't work you are at least fighting back.
btw, the skin protection sold in your lds is really just a very thick sunscreen.

Those are not sea lice. Sea lice are the larvae of the jellies you see and are very much smaller.
