  • Keep neutral buoyancy around artificial structures, avoid entering openings and remain alert to changes in the drift direction.
  • Treat wildlife encounters as possible, never guaranteed, and give animals space.

Underwater photography

A flexible setup works best: use a macro lens for small subjects on sand, rubble and coral, or wide angle for the broader reef structure. Maintain stable trim, avoid stirring sediment and never move or touch wildlife for a photograph.
