Sun Cream at Discovery Cove

Hiya,

Does anyone know of a suncream that I can use at discovery cove that isn't too thick?

It has to be Eco-friendly, but I've heard reviews that the one they supply is pretty thick and doesn't look that good! Being a bit vain, if I'm going to have my picture taken swimming with the dolphins, I want it to look half decent:o I'm quite pale anyway so don't want to look like a ghost!

Any one have any experiences?

    Unless they've changed the rules, when we went to Discovery Cove you were only allowed to use the suncream they provided as it is specially formulated to be safe for the animals and fish.
    Everything will be alright in the end so, if it’s not yet alright, it means it’s not yet the end

    I've never noticed sun cream in photos of people at Discovery Bay ......so I doubt it's even noticeable in photos.



    Definitely a First World problem :)

    I've been a couple of times and you are only allowed to use their suncream as it is animal friendly. The one they give you is thicker than usual but you can't see it in the photos, so don't worry about that. If you are really worried get there early, around 7.30am and then you'll get any early swim time so you could then put the suncream on afterwards. The make they use is Panama Jack and you get little sachets to use.

    In fact I'd recommend getting there early to anyone anyway, the queues do start to build up from 8am and it does take a while to get through. You can then go off and get breakfast without it being too busy.

    Have a look at the trip reports on the www.thedibb.co.uk, there are loads of reports and photo's to see.

    You'll have a fab day :)
