Secure loose items
Remove jewelry and leave phones in a waterproof pouch or with the boat crew—loose items can be lost during launch or landing.
Confirm weight & health limits
Operators require weight, age, and health details; disclose spinal, heart, or pregnancy concerns before booking.
Sun protection is essential
Bring reef-safe sunscreen and a hat for time on deck—UV reflects off water and intensifies exposure at altitude.
Choose morning slots
Early-morning flights tend to have steadier winds and calmer seas for smoother ascents and clearer views.
Reef-safe sunscreen (SPF 30+)
Protects skin and local coral reefs during sun exposure on deck and in-flight.
