Arrive hydrated and fed
Eat a light meal and drink water beforehand — avoid heavy meals right before diving and hydrate to reduce risk of seasickness.
Bring a quick-dry change
Pack a towel and dry clothes for the ride back; the operator provides wetsuits but you’ll appreciate a warm layer after surfacing.
Declare medical conditions
Complete the health questionnaire honestly and tell instructors about asthma, recent surgeries or medications — some conditions can preclude diving.
Use reef-safe sunscreen
Apply sunscreen before arrival and avoid lotions during handling of gear to protect marine life and preserve visibility.
Mask and snorkel
Personal fit reduces fogging and lets you practice breathing before the dive.
