You push off from a small sandy shelf at Playa Doña Lala and the shoreline recedes behind you: low cliffs, a scatter of palm trunks, and the dark skeleton of an old pier standing like a reef-made map. Below, the water clarifies into layers of blue-green and coral gardens fan out around the pier remains, busy with tangs, wrasses, and sergeant majors that dart and reform like color-coded instructions.

Use reef-safe sunscreen
Apply biodegradable sunscreen before arriving to protect both your skin and the reef ecosystem.
Wear fins and a fitted mask
Fins improve control in currents and a leak-free mask keeps your head in the water longer for better viewing.

Small-group briefings cover currents, entry points, and no-touch rules—stick close to the leader for safety.
