Sunscreen question

[dapaddo]

I am wondering if we need special suncreen to enter the water in protected areas, if so what kind and where do you get it.

It was required at a park we went to in Cozumel. I found natural sunscreen in the health food section of my supermarket (Wegmans). It wasn't that hard to get, and I saw another brand in a drugstore right after I bought it. I believe a number of places in Mexico require it.

Around Cozumel it's required but it's always a good idea when going anywhere near a reef. Most health food stores carry it along with some other places - I found some recently in the natural foods section at Kroger. It wasn't with the other sunscreens but over with the health food stuff.

Thanks I will check in the health food area of the local store.
