Hey guys, its Lisa. I am so excited to talk to you about Stream2Sea! We’re now carrying everything from sunscreen with water-activated WetBoost technology (which makes the sunscreen stronger as it gets wet) and my absolute favorite, a golden glittery SHIMMER, to no-rinse gear wash, shampoo bars, leave-in conditioner, anti-fog and more at Dolphin Scuba. Baby shampoo and other traditional products are killing our fish, coral and underwater ecosystems, they just don't do it like Stream2Sea—so let’s show our oceans a little more love! Whether you’re diving, hanging by the pool, hiking long trails or chasing that golden, glittery glow like me, stop in and check out our newest addition! These products are ground breaking, out performing their competition by a landslide! Don't just take my word for it-come see for yourself!
