You step off the sand into warm Atlantic water, the guide’s voice cutting through gull calls as fins kick and mask straps are checked under the bridge at Phil Foster Beach. Waist-deep at first, the ocean here is patient—clear enough that bright parrotfish and sergeant majors peer back before you slide over shallow reef rock and patches of seagrass.

Arrive early to check gear
Plan to arrive 30 minutes before departure to park, sign in, and get fitted—guides often finish a prior class under the bridge.
Use reef‑safe sunscreen
Apply biodegradable, reef‑safe sunscreen before arrival to protect coral and reduce skin irritation in saltwater.
Choose morning departures
Morning conditions are typically calmer with better visibility; afternoon onshore winds can stir sediment and bring choppier water.
Mask fit matters
Bring or request a well-fitting mask; a snug seal cuts fogging and prevents water ingestion while snorkeling.
Mask and snorkel (if you prefer your own)
Personal masks reduce fit issues and fogging compared with rental equipment.
Reef‑safe sunscreen
Protects skin and the marine environment from harmful chemicals.
summer
Water shoes or reef sandals
Protects feet when entering/exiting shallow rocky shorelines and walking across parking areas.
Towel and change of clothes
You’ll want dry layers and sun protection after the water session.
