Does anyone use a sunblock or something that doesn't make a horrid mess on the second dive?

I have used Cliniderm Sunblock for several years now. It will easily last you 8 hours even after diving while the suncream gets into your skin and works from within.
Down in Sharm I'd get one application of 16 in the morning and at the end of the holiday Kate was complaining about me not getting a tan...

It costs a bit more than normal sunscreen but why not more people use it I really don't understand.
Send me a PM if you can't find it in the UK and help get you some from here.

Edit: Not sure if you can get it in the UK. I checked up on the product and can't find it on the web at least. Only found some Canadian company and I don't think that's it.
Reading up on it what you want is a cream with liposomes since that gets under your skin and works chemically rather than as a physical barrier.

Good luck,

Kyrre
