Diving/Snorkeling Beanies

[Randy in MD]

I've been told by my dermatologist that I need to start wearing head protection while I'm snorkeling...

It's the price I'm paying for having too much fun in the sun when I was a kid, and the thinning crop of hair I inherited from my maternal grandfather...

So I'm looking at Diving Beanies as my solution and I'm wondering if anyone here has any experience in wearing them, and any recommendations on which one to buy...

I've got 70 days until I'll be modeling my new headpiece for the turtles...

But who's counting?

Thanks in advance for any advice...

I bought just a buff with an elastic end, and I was surprised by how well it stayed on my head, and I didn't have any scalp burning after I started wearing it. I think it cost less than $5, at the shop by Skinny Legs.

Have a lot of students and customers wear them and they do a great job. Make sure you get one that secures with a strap or good tie.

The do rags work beautiful pops! I have one made of manta ray material that keeps my hair pulled back and keeps the sun off your head!

Here is one site but there are plenty to pick from with avariety of prices!

I had the same problem My scalp was getting fried while I was out snorkeling so I started wearing the Nike swim cap.
Sports Authority has them for cheap. On the island Low Key has them for around $10 also...
