For the well being of the reef and lagoon, please follow these diving and snorkeling recommendations:

Kicking the sand with your fins smothers the coral and it will suffocate.

Using sun block while snorkeling or scuba diving kills the coral. Wear shorts and T-shirt instead.

Touching, kicking, or standing on the coral will damage and kill the coral.
