Conservation
Many local sites are within protected marine areas with active monitoring; divers are asked to avoid touching coral, use reef-safe sunscreen, and follow no-take rules.

Check Gear Fit During Briefing
Insist on a full gear check and a mask/BCD fit test during the pre-dive briefing—small leaks waste air and time.
