The Experience
Before You Go
Use reef‑safe sunscreen
Coral reefs are sensitive—choose non‑chemical sunscreen and reapply before and after snorkeling.
Bring a waterproof case
Protect your phone and ID while swimming or on the sand bank; phones get wet fast on day charters.
Arrive early to board
Plan to be at the marina at least 20–30 minutes before departure to handle check‑in and stow gear.
Manage seasickness proactively
If you’re prone to motion sickness, take medication an hour before departure and sit midship where motion is least noticeable.
