as a daily ocean swimmer here(terrigal north of sydney)my friends and i have found that rubbing sunscreen on under cossies before swimming is a good preventative for the dreaded sea lice (but in bad times nothing works. Have only swum out on reefs and around islands in bali and have never encountered sea lice. have stuck to swimming in pools at kuta but family surf everyday when there and no real probs with lice as yet. antihistamine tabs are useful at night to stop itching and get a good nights sleep.
