Local expert tips

• This activity books up quickly, and we highly suggest booking at least 2 weeks in advance, especially during busy seasons like summer and spring break.
• Best time to visit: It is recommended to go early in the morning when the ocean is at its calmest.
• What to bring: Swimwear, change of clothes, towel, reef-safe sunscreen, waterproof camera, snacks, and a bottle of water.
• Due to the ocean conditions, we highly recommend taking a motion sickness preventative at least one hour before your departure time. Even if you are not normally prone to motion sickness, it can get quite choppy out on the water, especially during the fall and winter season.
• Best time of the year to visit: Spring and summer offer the calmest ocean conditions. During fall and winter, be sure to book the morning tour to get the best viewing options. Please check local forecasts before you book as inclement weather can affect underwater visibility.
