Bring reef‑safe sunscreen
Apply biodegradable sunscreen before boarding and reapply after swims to protect coral and avoid slippery decks.
Secure a well‑fitting mask
Mask fit is the difference between a calm snorkel and repeated surface clears—bring your own if you have it.
Hydrate before and after
Salt, sun, and a few drinks on an open bar can dehydrate you—drink water between alcoholic beverages.
Flag non-swimmers in advance
Operators provide mandatory life vests for children or guests who cannot swim but need prior notification to prepare them.
Reef-safe sunscreen
Protects skin and the coral ecosystems—apply before boarding.
