Use reef‑safe sunscreen
Apply biodegradable, reef‑safe sunscreen before boarding to protect coral and avoid reapplying in the water.
Bring a fitted mask
Equipment is provided but a well‑fitting personal mask reduces fog and improves visibility for spotting fish and turtles.
Choose a morning departure
Mornings are typically calmer with better water clarity—ideal for photos and spotting marine life.
