Bring water shoes with grip

Wear a thermal base layer
A thin wool or synthetic base layer under the wetsuit keeps you comfortable during swims and colder shoulder‑season temps.
Arrive hydrated and fueled
Three hours of activity plus climbs means bring a snack and drink; avoid heavy meals right before jumping into cold pools.
Listen to your guide’s limits
Jumping spots and slide choices will be assessed for safety—obey guide signals and choose sit‑or‑step alternatives if unsure.
Closed‑toe water shoes
Grip and protection on wet rock and when scrambling in and out of pools.
