01
Arrive with a boundary
Choose the hours you will spend outside and set an earlier review point. If shade is limited or wind increases, shorten the plan. Reapply sun protection according to its directions and use clothing and shade as primary layers.
02
Confirm access, do not assume it
Not every stretch of visible shoreline is public or suitable for entry. Use marked or locally confirmed access points. Follow posted rules and ask the responsible site contact when boundaries are unclear.
03
Observe underwater life without contact
Look, float and photograph without touching, feeding or collecting. Keep fins and feet away from living surfaces and sediment. If you are not confident in the conditions or your ability, remain at the shore.
04
Keep small objects controlled
Wind quickly carries plastic, receipts and light fabric. Use a closed bag and account for every item before leaving. Refillable water containers reduce loose waste, but they still need to be secured.
05
End with a gear check
Rinse salt only where appropriate facilities exist, dry electronics before opening covers and check that no natural material has entered your bag. Review the access path in daylight before the final departure.
