The sea opens like a quiet, blue room as you step off the shallow entry at Green Bay — the water cool against your calves and the instructor’s calm voice the only other sound. Below the surface, sunlight threads through, outlining schools of fish that circle the rocky drop-off and a small underwater sculpture park that punctuates the sand.

Bring swimwear and a towel
Providers supply SCUBA gear, but you’ll need swimwear, a towel, and a change of clothes for before and after the dive.
Avoid heavy meals before diving
Eat lightly 2–3 hours prior and stay hydrated to reduce discomfort and the risk of nausea.
Arrive early for a safety briefing
Give yourself 15–20 extra minutes to complete paperwork and a private briefing so you’re relaxed entering the water.
Tell the instructor about medical issues
Disclose any heart, respiratory, or pregnancy concerns — some conditions can preclude diving for safety reasons.
Swimwear
Wear under your wetsuit or on top of rental gear for comfort and hygiene.
