Guidelines

Respect the Ocean Conditions : The sea can have strong currents at times. Only swim in safe, designated areas and avoid going too far out. Always ask locals or lifeguards about the day’s conditions. Protect Marine Life & Coral : If you go snorkeling or diving, never touch or step on corals, and avoid disturbing marine animals. Use reef-safe sunscreen to prevent chemical damage to the ocean. Choose Ethical Tours & Activities : If you join dolphin/whale watching or diving trips, book with eco-friendly operators who follow sustainable practices (e.g., no chasing or harassing marine life).
