Mornings usually offer the smoothest sea and best visibility for snorkeling; aim for the first session to avoid afternoon wind chop.
Use reef‑safe sunscreen
Apply biodegradable sunscreen before launching to protect marine life and avoid harming local reefs.
Bring secure water shoes
Entry can be rocky—light water shoes protect feet when stepping on volcanic cobbles or reef flats.
Hydrate and protect from sun
Two hours on the water concentrates sun exposure and exertion—carry water and wear a hat or UV top between swims.
