Salty Skin and Sunny Skies

Don't be a beach or have a salty attitude when you soak up the sun. Keep sunburn at bay and use the sea for play. Snorkeling, diving, and swimming around is the perfect way to see the sights the under water world while steering clear of direct sun. There are a few things to consider before you make your way into the water. 

DON'T TOUCH THE BUTT! When the boat is on, moving, or the okay wasn't given, don't dive on in... unless you want to be fish chum. Motors are seriously dangerous. It's always important to follow directions from the captain and crew to ensure preventable injuries are well... prevented.

Have a buddy. If you don't have a friend, learn to make one. Having a buddy in the water is not only for fun, but also for safety. One is the loneliest number and if you're all by yourself in a difficult situation, things can sink fast. When you have a buddy, you can both share experiences, point out interesting sights, and help each other if things don't go to plan. 

Buddies that dive together, high five together.

If you're a cool cat, you'll slather on the sunscreen. So, don't forget! Sun kissed and sunburnt can make the difference of being the big tuna in town or being the red lobster loser at Weiny Hut Junior's. Even though the water provides some relief from the sun, when on the surface the burn is real. When snorkeling, swimming, or diving remember to to reapply.

These guys right here, yeah, they aren't a fan of sunscreen though. 

Hydration station! With water all around, remember that fresh is best for the body. Staying hydrated will make you a spring key chicken. Dehydration leads to head aches, fatigue, disorientation, and even death. Water increases blood flow, organ function, and the bodies ability to repair itself! Sounds pretty nifty to me. So, don't sweat it and if you do, just replace it with a cold water break.

Now he looks hydrated.
