Know before you go

Check your health: ensure you are in good physical condition and have no underlying health issues that snorkelling could exacerbate.
Be aware of marine life: while most marine life in Bunaken is harmless, be cautious of potentially dangerous species like sea urchins and jellyfish. Avoid touching them and follow the guide's instructions.
Please respect the environment: avoid touching or disturbing the coral reefs, as they are fragile ecosystems.
Stay hydrated: drink plenty of water before and after your snorkelling session.
If you can free dive, ask the guide to supervise you while doing so.
Respect local customs: be mindful of local customs and traditions, especially when visiting villages or sacred sites.
Check weather conditions: monitor weather forecasts before your trip to plan accordingly. Avoid snorkelling during stormy weather or when there are strong currents.
