Select participants and date
The bow of Serendipity cuts a clean line through water so clear you can read the bottom fifteen feet down. Sunlight patterns shimmy across the hull as the captain idles near the outer reef and the crew passes out masks and fins with practiced efficiency. Within minutes the first flippers break the surface; below, parrotfish and the occasional turtle inspect the newcomers as if checking guest credentials.

Adventure Tips
Bring reef-safe sunscreen
Apply reef-safe SPF before boarding and bring a small bottle for reapplication to protect coral and your skin.
Stabilize for sensitivity
If you get seasick, sit midship and use medication 1–2 hours before departure; ginger chews also help for mild nausea.
Mask fit matters
Bring a well-fitting snorkel mask or request a properly sized mask from the crew — a good seal makes the whole trip more enjoyable.
Protect your feet
Wear reef or water shoes for island stops where underwater rock and shells can be sharp.

History
