Bring ID or certification card
If you have a PADI/SSI certification bring your card; for try-dives, be ready to complete a skills check during the briefing.
Protect your skin and the reef
Use reef-safe sunscreen and cover up between dives—sun is intense on deck and sunscreen chemicals harm Posidonia beds.

Small day boats can roll in open water; take motion-sickness medication before boarding if you’re prone to seasickness.

This activity isn’t recommended for people with recent spinal, heart or pregnancy-related conditions—disclose medical issues before booking.
