The latest issues of DAN's 'Alert Diver' has an interesting article that links reef damage to sunscreen washing off diver's bodies.
They list an alphabet soup of ingredients known to be harmful, but no specific recommendations that are considered safe.
Does anyone have a list of effective (lets say SPF > 40) blocks that are reef-safe?

Actually they do give examples, a French product called Evoa and a British one called Aethic Sovee. Neither are particularly affordable 150 ml tube of Aethic Sovee is > $91 (plus shipping) !!!
