Be aware that you will be in a reserve area and a sensitive environment. Consider your actions:
• Do not touch anything when snorkeling or diving. We do a lot of damage to the underwater environment when we touch marine life or coral, not to mention that a lot of marine life can sting or cause serious injuries to human when provoked.
• Please do not take anything away from the reef, unless you are talking about garbage or fishnets.
• For divers, practice good buoyancy and stay off the reef. Beware of your fins as they can cause a lot of damage.
• Do not litter, the sea is not your garbage bin. If you smoke, never throw cigarette butts into the water.
