Select participants and date
The boat pushes away from the pier and Montego Bay's shoreline recedes into a line of palm-framed hotels and weathered piers. Steel drums and live Reggae spill across the deck as sunlight slides over the catamaran’s netting; feet find a rhythm, sun-warmed and suspended above the Caribbean blue. By the time the crew calls out the first snorkel briefing, the water has already done the inviting work—clear, warm, and full of motion.

Adventure Tips
Bring reef-safe sunscreen
Chemical sunscreens harm coral—use reef-safe sunscreen and reapply after swimming to protect reefs and skin.
Prevent seasickness
If you’re prone to motion sickness take medication an hour before departure and sit mid-boat for the steadiest ride.
Secure valuables
Bring a dry bag for phones and wallets; the boat has sun nets and open decks where items can easily get wet or lost.
Respect the reef
Do not touch, stand on, or collect coral; use your fins to keep distance from fragile structures.
