4 Sun Exposure Safety Tips for Divers🌊
1. Avoid Peak UV Radiation Hours⛱
If you love diving, how to protect your skin from skin cancer is important. The sun's rays reach their peak intensity between 10am- 4pm, so it’s also important to avoid direct exposure during these times (even on cloudy days).
2. Cover Up your body 🩱
Sunscreen cannot ensure the skin protection and most of it contain chemicals that can kill coral. So cover your body with physical barriers is the best choice.
3. Wear Sunglasses with UV protection🥽
Sunglasses with UV protection minimize damage that can lead to vision problems. And don’t forget your neck, lips and ears as well.
4.Use Natural, Reef-Safe Sunscreen ☀️
A recent study found just one drop of oxybenzone in 15 million liters (3.9 million gallons) of water is all it takes to kill coral.
