4 Days • 8 Tanks • Local Reef
Bring your certification card
Proof of certification is required—Open Water for morning dives and Scuba Diver for afternoon dives; copies won’t always be accepted.
Use reef-safe sunscreen
Apply biodegradable sunscreen before the boat launch to protect coral and comply with local conservation guidance.
Check currents and skill level
Ask the guide about current profiles at each site—stronger currents reward good buoyancy and navigation skills.
Pack snacks for surface intervals
Half-day schedules include shop returns between dives—bring light snacks and a refillable bottle for energy and hydration.
Mask and snorkel
A well-fitting mask and snorkel make surface checks and dives more comfortable and improve your photos.
Wetsuit (3mm)
A light wetsuit provides thermal comfort in Caribbean waters and protection from scrapes.
Dive computer
Tracks depth and no‑decompression limits across multiple dives and is essential for safe repetitive diving.
Reef-safe sunscreen
Protects your skin and the reef; operators request biodegradable products to limit coral damage.
