Any of you guys experience this and have any ideas?

As a Diver, I have seen other diver's have a problem with what is known as "sea lice," particulary in that part of the world. I have not experienced them, mostly because I always wear a full 3MM wetsuit when diving in that area as well as Cozamel, etc. for that very reason as well as likeing to be warm!
Usually, one makes contact with them at the surface. They are a form of jelly fish, as I understand it. There are many home remedies, to include your own urine.
