Sharp coral and hot sand make reef shoes useful for entry and exploration around the Blue Hole.
Hydration and sun protection
Carry at least 1.5–2 liters of water and use reef-safe sunscreen to protect both you and the marine environment.

Strong localized currents can occur at the Blue Hole; follow your guide’s briefings and avoid solo dives beyond the reef edge.
