The Experience
Before You Go
Bring reef-safe sunscreen
Use only reef-safe sunscreen to protect coral habitats; apply before boarding to avoid handling products at sea.
Wear a secure mask and fins
A well-fitting snorkel mask and fins make spearfishing and reef swims easier and safer.
Know your sea tolerance
If you get seasick, pre-treat or sit mid-boat where motion is milder—conditions can change fast in passes.
Follow the guide’s conservation rules
Listen to local guidance on no-take zones and handling catches to support sustainable fishing practices.
