Participants should have moderate fitness; ability to climb in/out of a low boat and swim in calm open water is required.
Snorkeling equipment is provided as part of the charter, but many guests prefer their own mask for fit and comfort.
Children are allowed but must be accompanied by an adult; operators expect moderate fitness and supervise boarding and snorkeling.
