A warm trade wind lifts the salt off the water as the boat eases away from shore and the island’s white beaches shrink behind you. In minutes the hull slides into a wide palette of blues; the captain eases alongside shallow coral gardens and invites you over the rail. Masks fog, fins kick, and the reef—part of the region’s expansive barrier system—pushes colorful life into view.

Choose reef-safe sunscreen
Use mineral-based, reef-safe sunscreen to protect coral; apply ashore before boarding to minimize runoff.
Secure a proper mask fit

Bring motion-sickness remedies
If prone to seasickness, take preventative medication or use wristbands before you depart; conditions can change quickly offshore.
