Use reef-safe sunscreen
Apply reef-safe sunscreen before boarding and reapply after snorkelling to protect coral and stay comfortable in tropical sun.
Bring or rent a snug snorkel mask
A well-fitting mask prevents leaks and lets you spot reef fish and turtles more easily; rentals are available but often used gear.
Prepare for boat motion
If you get seasick, take medication at least 30 minutes before departure and sit mid-boat where motion is gentlest.
Carry small cash and a waterproof pouch
Local vendors and tips may require cash; keep passport photocopy and phone protected from spray.
Reef-safe sunscreen
Protects marine life and prevents sunburn during prolonged exposure on deck and in shallow water.
