hi all.........first trip to roatan coming up in 6 weeks. i have a few questions and will probably have more later. Have any of you used the lemon eucalyptus repellents (the ingredients are on the CDC effective list)...and was it successful against both the sand flies and the mosquitoes? and secondly........how what about sunscreen? does DEET make your sunscreen non-effective.........or the reverse? or how do you manage this? do you use the cactus juice on dive days, and then DEET or lemon eucalyptus when not diving? and if swimming/laying out at the beach....then what's the best plan? i have fair skin, not extremely fair, but i do need sunscreen on. thanks in advance everyone.
