It makes untangling salt-water-crusted, windblown hair a breeze. — Doris Pfister, Caradonna Dive Adventures group agent and dive instructor

2. McCormick sea salt seasoning gets rid of jellyfish stings, fire coral stings and even stops sea bather’s rash. — Margo Peyton, co-owner of Family Dive Vacations and Kids Sea Camp

3. Carry a pocket-size mouthwash spray in your gear bag and spritz your regulator mouthpiece prior to the dive to freshen your breathing experience underwater. — Kelvin Dale, PADI Master Scuba Diver Trainer

4. Take probiotics to help with digestion when eating in a different country. — Scott Taylor, owner, A-1 Scuba, Littleton, Colo.

5. Make sure your vaccinations and immunizations are up to date. Check the Centers for Disease Control website about your specific destination for safety and health advice. — SDE

6. If you suffer from tummy troubles, skip eating heavy foods, consuming too much caffeine and chewing sugarless gum — it contains a sugar alcohol called sorbitol, which is a notorious gas producer. — Sport Diver Editors

7. Get New-Skin liquid bandage. It is an antiseptic treatment for cuts, wounds, blisters and calluses and will help protect them while they’re healing. — SDE

8. Avoid mosquitoes, ticks and other tropical pests with herbal, DEET-free, nontoxic insect repellents. Some destinations may necessitate that you use a repellent containing DEET, but most don’t. — SDE

11. Take seasickness medication the night before you dive to give it a chance to get in your system and work. — SDE
