Is there a solution to the problem of sunblock running into your eyes and blinding you, apart from the obvious one? Paul G |

Damn good post Paul, I had this problem just last week. My boat can be quite wet and one good splash in the face on the way to a dive site and my eyes are rooted and Im pretty much driving blind till the next few good splash's wash the crap right off....then I burn I thought may be that zinc might be a good option, but probably need to wash it off b4 getting into the water. You can get suncream that is natural and won't sting your eye's but I think it has a crap shelf life. This week my nose ears and neck are pealing from the bastard NZ sun. And I was wearing suncream most of the time. Gotta put it straight back on when you get out. Even in the water you can get burnt. i often end up with a burnt circle where my wetsuit hood stops then it goes white again where my mask is. This seems to happen when its windy and Im constantly looking up to see where Im swimming. |

Squid. You must be able to sense a new fashion. Among some of our best spearos is a very 'fashion conscious' guy known as Paul Matthews. Well to make a long story short here he is...
