The boat slows, the turquoise light thickens beneath the hull, and a compact sea scooter hums like a small engine of curiosity. On a clear day off Tortola you don a mask, clip into the scooter, and the ocean pulls you forward—no frantic kicking, just a quiet glide past bommies and coral ridges.

Use reef-safe sunscreen
Apply reef-safe SPF before boarding and bring a small bottle for reapplication to protect coral and your skin.
Secure loose gear
Attach cameras and masks with straps—sea scooters move quickly and waves can toss equipment overboard.
Hydrate and eat light
Bring water and a light snack; long days on a sunny boat dehydrate you faster than you think.
Respect marine life
Don’t chase or touch turtles and keep fins and scooters clear of coral to avoid damage.
Mask & snorkel (fitted)
A well-fitted mask prevents leaks and lets you focus on the reef rather than clearing water.
