clothes (t-shirts & shorts or skirts that can stay dry in the
shallows, Only bring swimwear or spare underwear for those choosing the
wetsuit option and for all encounters and snorkels. Your own
prescription mask set- note though we do allow it you will need to allow
extra time before your experience for us to clean/soak your snorkel in
solution to ensure it is free from any nasties. 

What NOT to bring:
Swimwear or rashie/clothes to swim in without a wetsuit (staying dry
clothing or wetsuit must be worn in lagoons, not swimwear alone),
