Hey ,the BIBR is great.We are long time travelers to Roatan.3times a
yr. since 1981Cactus juice has failed us and the stuff that Linda Kay
makes not only did not work for us or our buddies from Canada,but it
seemed to attract them.DEET is the only thing that I have found that
works.Years ago when I started traveling to Roatan we didn't have much
in the way of repellent,so we would rub ourselves in coconut oil and
then roll in the sand.It was disgusting but atleast the sand fleas left
us alone.That was a trick that the locals taught me.It looked really
funny too!I have pics of us all coated in sand looking very tribal.As
for the diving it is incredible.Get ready for the time of your
life.Tricia
