Book morning departures
Early departures typically have calmer seas and better visibility—aim for the earliest pickup to maximize snorkeling time.
Bring reef-safe sunscreen
Chemical sunscreens harm corals; use reef-safe lotion and apply before the boat to avoid reapplying in-water.
Prevent seasickness
If you’re prone to motion sickness, take preventative medication 30–60 minutes before boarding and sit midship where motion is least noticeable.
Secure personal gear
Bring a strap for sunglasses and a dry bag for phones—boat decks are wet and wind can toss light items overboard.
Swimsuit and quick-dry towel
For entering the water and drying off quickly between stops.
