Bring reef-safe sunscreen

Secure a well-fitting mask
A snug mask and snorkel greatly improve visibility and comfort—try equipment on land before leaving the dock.
Manage seasickness proactively
Take an over-the-counter or prescribed antiemetic before departure if you’re susceptible; sit mid-boat where motion is least.
Respect wildlife distance
Observe dolphins and reef life from the boat or at a non-intrusive distance in the water—avoid chasing or touching animals.
