Bring reef-safe sunscreen
Florida law and local marine health favor zinc-oxide or other reef-safe sunscreen to protect seagrass and wildlife—reapply frequently.
Hydrate and shade up
Seven hours on a boat in summer can dehydrate you—use the provided bottled water, wear a hat and use the bimini shade between swims.
Know your swimming comfort
Non-swimmers can remain on board, but in-water participation requires basic swimming ability and comfort with snorkeling.
Protect seagrass and follow the guide
Step gently in shallow areas and only harvest scallops shown by the in-water guide to avoid damaging habitat and violating regulations.
Personal snorkel mask
Provided onboard, but a well-fitting personal mask prevents fogging and improves comfort.
