Bring certification and logbook
Show your Open Water (or higher) certification and logbook at check‑in—no card, no dive.
Hydrate and eat light
Drink water before boarding and avoid heavy meals to reduce seasickness and aid equalization.
Respect buoyancy around coral
Keep neutral buoyancy and a safe distance; touching coral damages decades of growth.
Plan morning departures
Mornings usually have calmer seas and clearer visibility—opt for early slots when possible.
Dive certification card & logbook
Required proof of certification and helpful for guide briefings.
Mask and snorkel
A well‑fitting mask improves comfort and surface time; snorkel for surface swims between sites.
Fins
Efficient propulsion saves air and helps manage currents across channels and shelves.
Dive computer or depth gauge
Tracks no‑decompression limits and depth during multi‑tank days.
