You push off from the marina as sunlight cuts across pale Caribbean water; the engine hum is steady, and the island recedes into a line of green. On the ride out (30–45 minutes), the crew runs a concise briefing while the sea stretches wide—currents occasionally testing the boat’s patience, reefs waiting below like organized gardens of coral.

Bring your certification and logbook

Use reef-safe sunscreen

Bring water and a light breakfast; the boat provides snacks but staying hydrated helps with equalization and fatigue.
