  • Q5.   What should I do if I wear spectacles?

  • Q6.   Are restroom facilities available during the trip?

  • Q7.   Will the mobile network work during the snorkelling trip?

    When you leave the shore, mobile signals can either get weak or non-existent. This is common in marine areas in the islands. Before you go out of reach, it would be prudent to tell members of your family that you will not be available for a few hours.

  • Q8.   Can I combine snorkelling with fishing or sightseeing on the same charter?

    The trip can be customized in many operators in case it is requested beforehand. You can add some sightseeing courses or fishing (light) as per the time availability. The benefit of discussing your plan with the crew is to prepare them beforehand.

  • Q9.   Is tipping the crew expected after the trip?

  • Q10.   What happens if I drop something in the water accidentally?

    At shallow places, the crew can attempt to salvage it in the event that it is safe to do so. In darker waters, it is not normally possible to recover. Waterproof straps and pouches can be used to avoid the loss of valuables.
