Hydrate and rest before training
Diving requires clear sinuses and good hydration—avoid alcohol the night before and drink water throughout the course.
Bring your own mask
Although equipment is supplied, a well-fitting personal mask speeds skill practice and reduces water ingress during sessions.
Plan flights around dive time
Avoid flying for at least 48 hours after your last ocean dive to reduce risk of decompression sickness.

Protect coral by using biodegradable, reef-safe sunscreen and covering up between surface intervals.
Personal mask and snorkel
A well‑fitting mask speeds skill acquisition and prevents fogging during training.
Reef‑safe sunscreen
Protects sensitive coral ecosystems and complies with many local dive operator policies.
