Bring your certification card
All certified divers must present proof of certification at check-in or they will not be allowed to dive.
Hydrate before and after dives
Drink water throughout the day; dehydration increases risk during repetitive dives and after sun exposure.
Check boat-ride length
Boat transfers range from 15–45 minutes—bring a light jacket and seasickness medication if you’re prone to motion sickness.
Use reef-safe sunscreen
Apply biodegradable sunscreen and avoid touching coral to protect marine life and avoid skin irritation after a dive.
Certification card & logbook
Required to dive; guides will check credentials and recent diving activity.
Mask, snorkel & fins
Properly fitted gear improves comfort and reduces the chance of mask leaks or fatigue during two dives.
3mm wetsuit or rashguard
Water temps are warm but a thin wetsuit adds thermal comfort and protection from scrapes.
Surface signaling device (SMB/whistle)
