To help protect your skin from burns and wrinkles, don’t forget your SPF 30 sun cream and aloe vera gel if you burn easily. HAIR TIES OR A HEAD BAND Enjoy the best visibility and keep your hair from blocking your view. Bring along some hair ties or a head band to keep your hair from flying in front of your mask mid-dive. To avoid hair breakage, use non-elastic bands or a head bank made out of fabric that won’t rip your hair out when it gets tangled. TAMPONS Don’t let your period interfere with your dive plans. Always pack a box of tampons or, alternatively, consider using the eco-friendly menstrual cup.
