The Experience
Before You Go
Take motion-sickness precautions
If you’re prone to seasickness, take meds the night before or 1 hour before boarding; morning departures tend to be calmer.
Wear reef-safe sunscreen and a hat
The sun is strong on open water—choose sunscreen that won’t harm coral and bring a brimmed hat for extra protection.
Bring a reusable cooler bag
The crew will clean and fillet fish, but you’ll need a cooler bag or cooler to take your catch home safely.
Confirm lobster season if you want to dive for lobsters
Lobster diving runs Aug 1–Mar 31; book in advance and ensure the crew includes proper permission and safety equipment.
