Morning light is best
Depart early for calmer seas, softer light for photos, and quieter anchorages before afternoon winds build.
Bring motion-sickness remedies
Even calm days can have swell; consider patches or pills if you’re prone to seasickness.
Protect electronics
Use a small dry bag for phones and cameras—the boat spray and dive entries are unavoidable.
Footwear for deck and shore
Non-marking water shoes or sandals with grip make boarding and hopping to rocky coves easier.
