Frequently Asked Questions

How Can I Help Preserve The Reefs?

While exploring the underwater world, we ask that you do not walk on the coral, though it appears to be very firm, it is very fragile. This helps preserve the underwater plants, as well as allow an enjoyable experience for other snorkelers. We also ask that you utilize reef-safe sunscreen, these are distinguished by sunscreens made without oxybenzone and octinoxate. Many sunscreens will state on the front label if these chemicals are not in the product, but for those that don't, the back label will also include the ingredient list for review. We appreciate your cooperation in preserving the reefs!
I’m Vegetarian⁠, Are There Meal Options For Me?

Yes! You can choose the vegetarian option in the booking box when you make your reservation.
What Amenities Are On The Catamaran?

The catamaran has a small, shaded portion of the boat for those who want to avoid sun exposure. There also are two restrooms for use, as well as a freshwater rinse for use after swimming.
