Reef-safe sunscreen only
Use biodegradable, reef-safe sunscreen to protect coral and avoid greasy residues on rental gear; reapply after swimming.
Bring motion-sickness prevention
If you’re susceptible to seasickness, take medication or use acupressure bands before departure—conditions can change quickly offshore.
Protect electronics
Seal phones and cameras in a waterproof case; the sandbar is shallow but waves and spray can wet items quickly.
Timing matters for crowds
Midday attracts more boats; book early-morning or late-afternoon departures for quieter waters and softer light.
Reef-safe sunscreen
Protects skin and local coral—apply liberally and often.
