Morning departures are calmer
Book an early pickup—winds usually pick up in the afternoon, so mornings give smoother crossings and better underwater visibility.
Hydrate and eat lightly
Drink water before boarding and avoid heavy meals; dehydration and full stomachs make seasickness and discomfort more likely.
Bring reef-safe sunscreen
Protect your skin on the surface while avoiding chemicals that harm marine life—apply sunscreen before boarding to minimize handling on the boat.
Know medical limits
Disclose heart, spinal, or pregnancy concerns in advance—operators will refuse diving to travelers who pose safety risks underwater.

Wear under your wetsuit for quick gearing and to stay comfortable on deck.
