It's a certified broad spectrum, SPF 36+ protection that’s reef-safe (clinical testing resulted in an SPF 40 for 7 out of 10 people).

The job of a dive professional is a busy one. Jose needed a shower on the fly so he used one of Bamboo Reef's new RinseKits. They're great for giving yourself and your gear a quick post-dive rinse. Grab your own Rinsekit before we run out - we're located at 614 Lighthouse Avenue in Monterey.

The only product of its kind, RinseKit is a pressurized, portable shower that’s like having a hose to go. The RinseKit hose quickly attaches to your water spigot with a quick connect coupler and fills the two gallon eon™ pressure chamber with approximately 65 PSI of water pressure (standard home pressure) in 20 seconds time — and can hold pressure for up to one month. When you want to use it, simply attach the spray nozzle to the RinseKit hose with the quick coupler, select one of the 7 spray settings and fire away! The patented design has no moving parts and can be filled with hot or cold water an infinite number of times.
