Bugs are drawn to me wherever I go plus I'm moderately allergic to them. I put my wetsuit half on to keep my legs safe ASAP. Right now I also have a hat with mosquito netting and a rain jacket that bugs can't bite through as my constant companions. And on top of that, repellent. I've heard a permethrin spray coating clothes will also repel insects and will stay on the clothes for multiple washes. That's on my to-do list for today to try and keep off the rest of the bugs. Hopefully with that I can stop smelling of DEET. Itching under my wetsuit drives me mad. At least the 8C water makes the bites numb when I'm under.Be safe and use repellents. I do that wherever I go to dive.
