Take seasickness precautions
If you get queasy, take an over-the-counter remedy the night before and again an hour before departure; sit mid-boat where motion is least.
Use reef-safe sunscreen
Apply mineral-based sunscreen before boarding and reapply sparingly between dives to protect coral ecosystems.
Listen to your instructor
Follow pre-dive briefings and hand signals closely — buoyancy control and slow ascents are key to a safe, enjoyable dive.
Carry ID and medical info
Bring your passport copy and note any medical conditions or medications to share with staff at check-in.
Mask and snorkel
A well-fitting mask makes surface intervals and shallow exploration far more comfortable.
Wetsuit or shorty
Water temps dip in winter; a 3mm shorty or 5mm wetsuit keeps you comfortable during dives.
