Use biodegradable sunscreen
Coral reefs are sensitive; choose reef‑safe sunscreen and reapply in shade to protect both skin and marine life.
Prepare for changing sea conditions
Snorkeling is weather‑dependent—if seas are rough the Port Authority may prohibit water entry, so plan alternative camera and beach time.
Pack motion‑sickness remedies
Even on calm days some passengers feel queasy; bring meds or acupressure bands if you’re prone to seasickness.
Swimsuit and quick‑dry cover
