Do we need special sunscreen

Last year my huband and I went to Cancun we had to wear special sunscreen to go snorkling. I guess a chemical in normal sunscreen kills the coral reefs. We don't want our coral reefs destroyed, so does anyone know of this rule in Aruba?

Use Australian Gold SPF products. I work for that company and our products are Bio Degradeable and will not hurt the reef at all .

It is the oil in regular sunscreen that hurst the coral and fish. Do try to buy bio-degradeable, but there is no rule in Aruba that you can't use regular sunscreen.
