Can you get tan if you're underwater? Kevin's swimming right now and I'm worried that he'll get too tan if he's out there for long. Tan is okay but too tan is definitely not.

About the points.. I have them.

no i dont think so


-- Posted by Kankalicious at 1:24 pm on Aug. 20, 2008

Yes. Being in the water actually makes it worse.


-- Posted by jumbo55 at 1:24 pm on Aug. 20, 2008

typically you get burned/tan faster and worse when your in the water. the reflection off the water is a bitch.


-- Posted by jamesish at 1:24 pm on Aug. 20, 2008

Not as much, but with enough time, yes.


-- Posted by venomromance at 1:24 pm on Aug. 20, 2008

Yes.


-- Posted by The Artery at 1:24 pm on Aug. 20, 2008

if the sun hits you then yes


-- Posted by RockerTori106 at 1:24 pm on Aug. 20, 2008

Yes. The water absorbs the sunlight, making it easier to tan underwater.

Not underwater but the bits that are poking out of the water will get tan


-- Posted by deaths door14 at 1:24 pm on Aug. 20, 2008

yes you can.


-- Posted by The Stranger at 1:25 pm on Aug. 20, 2008

no


-- Posted by marshmellowman at 1:25 pm on Aug. 20, 2008

No, you cannot. The water blocks the UV rays that cause tanning.


-- Posted by 3eyes at 1:26 pm on Aug. 20, 2008

u can burn underwater


-- Posted by abbeyqtpi at 1:27 pm on Aug. 20, 2008

-- Posted by camillelong 26 at 1:27 pm on Aug. 20, 2008

-- Posted by agerask at 1:28 pm on Aug. 20, 2008

Just the opposite, actually.

I knew it was one of the two, the idea seemed kind of fishy but that's what I remembered. Oh well.


-- Posted by adiddy92 at 1:32 pm on Aug. 20, 2008

yes, the light rays intensify the UV rays so it works better then when your out, but dont stay in long because you will get sun stroke


-- Posted by CaliKevin at 1:35 pm on Aug. 20, 2008

So what is better for getting rid of massive amounts of pasty?  Staying under the water (in sugnlight of course) or just getting your skin wet?
