Beware of the potential risks

For both diving sports, you could easily collide with your surroundings, so always stay alert! During big swells, when you encounter sting rays, stone fishes, jellyfishes or sea urchins, beware and keep your distance. Some other aggressive species are eels, trigger fishes or lobsters. Make sure you stay away from these animals to avoid being electrocuted or attacked.

However, seldom are there accidents if you follow these rules:
  • Control your direction and buoyancy
  • Keep calm and do not attack other creatures
  • When standing or kneeling on sand, avoid collision with corals and potential allergy reactions
  • Do not touch any living organisms
  • When diving, wear a full-body wetsuit

Pay attention to the sea condition

Only dive in safe situations

The surface swell is strong?

Do not snorkel in such situations. Set aside your diving gears on the shore and keep calm and dry.


Are there strong currents?

This situation may drive you offshore, causing panic or disastrous consequences. As a snorkeller, do not overestimate your abilities and only snorkel in safe environments. For divers, relax and hold on to a dive line, slowly descend to the anchor point to resist from the current. You can also take shelter in underwater landscapes.


Do you feel cold both above or underwater?

No matter before, during or after going into the ocean, you must wear enough to keep warm. A wetsuit with suitable thickness, dive gloves, socks or hood can keep you warm

Remember these tips when exploring the ocean, and pay attention to the environment and personal safety. With these in mind, you can enjoy the underwater world with comfort and ease.
