• Always use marked entry and exit points and avoid standing on the edges of reef tables.
• Always practice neutral buoyancy to prevent fin damage to corals.
• Always avoid touching corals. The slightest touch can damage the corals' protective membrane causing irreversible damage, so please take the utmost care not to touch.
