Use reef‑safe sunscreen

Bring a fitted snorkel mask
A well-sealed mask reduces fogging and lets you focus on the reef instead of constant adjustments.

Rocky entries and coral rubble are common — lightweight water shoes protect feet when getting in and out.
Hydrate and pace alcohol
Tropical sun and salt can dehydrate quickly; drink water between alcoholic beverages and during breaks.
