The Experience
Before You Go

A compact towel and waterproof bag keep valuables dry on board and make the post-swim change easier.
Mind the equipment restriction
Hon Mun may limit snorkeling to swimming goggles only—confirm with your operator and practice breath control before snorkeling.
Take seasickness prevention
Morning departures are calmer; if prone to motion sickness take medication or ginger an hour before departure.
