Diver Tips

Buoyancy & Trim

Keep neutral buoyancy and horizontal trim. Add small air bursts to your BCD and move slowly to protect corals and visibility.

Fin Kicks

Use gentle frog kicks or modified flutter. Avoid stirring the bottom—sand clouds reduce visibility and can damage marine life.

Marine Life Etiquette

Look, don’t touch. Keep a respectful distance from turtles, rays and seahorses; never chase or block their path.

Gas & No‑Deco Checks

Check pressure and NDL regularly with your buddy. Signal your guide at 100 bar and start a relaxed ascent plan.

Hands Off

Keep hands close to the body; use slow finning to hold position. Avoid grabbing rocks, corals or the boat ladder underwater.

Eco Choice

Use reef‑safe sunscreen, bring a reusable bottle, and follow your guide’s eco‑briefing to minimize impact.
