Operators typically follow marine wildlife guidelines — give dolphins and turtles distance, avoid interrupting feeding areas, and use reef‑safe sunscreen to reduce chemical impact.

Choose calm mornings
Book the earliest slot possible — light winds and glassy water make foil learning faster and safer.
Bring proof of swim ability
You should be a confident swimmer — instructors expect participants to self‑rescue after falls.
Communicate health info

Secure personal items ashore
Leave valuables on land or in a waterproof locker — phone pockets on wetsuits are unreliable during falls.
