Next time I get one I will get board shorts and a rash guard shirt with long sleeves the ultimate sunblock ( I am very fair) When we went snorkeling in the Keys and Cozumel, we bought full length skin suits sort of like wetsuits except Lycra. 100% sunblock. very nice in the water and cool when you got out. Getting them on when sweaty is another issue altogether though.
