Know the meeting point
Confirm exact pickup or meeting location in Los Cristianos—minivan transfers are limited to five seats and punctuality keeps the group moving.
Use reef-safe sunscreen
Apply reef-safe sunscreen before getting in the water and reapply after the activity to protect coral and seagrass habitats.
Mask fit matters
Bring a well-fitting mask or check rental gear carefully during the pre-trip fitting to avoid leaks that cut visibility.
Conserve energy while snorkeling
Breathe steadily and use slow kicks; the guide will set a pace to maximize sightings without overexertion.
