Bring your own snorkelling gear if you can! Rentals can be a bit pricey, and having your own makes it easier. Plus, it's way more comfortable and familiar.

If you’re planning to stay for the sunset, grab a beach towel or mat. The view is absolutely stunning, and you might just want to hang out for a while

my advice is to visit around 9 am. the colors of the coral and fish are brightest then, plus there are fewer people around. i found it much easier to enjoy without the crowds bumping elbows with me.

My advice is to go in the morning, like around 9 AM. The water's calm and the visibility is great, plus you'll avoid the bigger crowds that come in later. Trust me, it made a huge difference!
