You push off from a narrow strip of sand, the city’s skyline slipping sideways as the coast opens. The sea here is warm and clear—an emerald bowl that invites you to balance, breathe, and look down.

Go at first light
Morning sessions usually offer the calmest water and best underwater visibility; aim to arrive well before high sun.
Reef‑safe sunscreen only
Use a biodegradable sunscreen to protect coral—regular sunscreens can damage reef life over time.
Practice falls and remounts
Spend 10–15 minutes on flat water learning to fall away from the board and remount so snorkeling stops are easier.
Watch tidal currents
Near the headland currents can strengthen with tide; listen to guides and stick to the planned route.
Swimwear and quick‑dry layers
Light, fast‑dry clothing and a rash guard protect from sun and abrasion while you paddle.
