Adventure tips

Bring reef‑safe sunscreenUse non‑chemical sunscreen to protect coral; apply before boarding and reapply with a towel to avoid runoff.

Hydrate and eat lightlyDrink water before the trip and eat a light breakfast to avoid seasickness; salty air and activity dehydrate quickly.

Secure certification and IDCarry your dive certification card or be prepared for a supervised discovery dive; staff will verify experience during check‑in.

Expect some boat movementBring motion‑sickness meds if prone to seasickness and wear slip‑resistant shoes for boarding and moving on deck.

Recommended gear

Mask & snorkel (personal): Personal fit improves comfort and visibility during surface intervals and snorkeling.
Reef‑safe sunscreen: Protects skin and the coral ecosystems—apply before boarding.
Light windbreaker or cover‑up: Useful for morning chop and cooling breezes on the trip back to port.
Waterproof bag for electronics: Keeps phone, certification cards and dry clothes safe from spray and splashes.
