Use reef-safe sunscreen
Coral reefs are sensitive—choose reef-safe sunscreen and reapply on the beach rather than in the water.
Bring a refillable water bottle
Tropical heat and salt make hydration essential; guides may not provide unlimited water so carry a 1L bottle.
Fit your mask before entering water
Even though gear is supplied, a quick fit check on shore prevents fogging and reduces time spent adjusting in the reef area.
Wear quick-dry shoes or reef booties
Rocky shore entries and limestone ledges are common—protect your feet and maintain traction.
Reef-safe sunscreen
Protects coral ecosystems and prevents sunburn in tropical conditions.
Refillable water bottle (1L)
Keeps you hydrated between activities in the heat.
Snorkel mask (personal, optional)
A well-fitting personal mask improves comfort and visibility; guides supply equipment if needed.
Water shoes or reef booties
Protect soles on rocky entries and provide traction on slippery limestone.
