- Consider a weight belt with 2 to 3 pounds to help you dive deeper. Make sure the weight is manageable so you can float at the surface comfortably. If fatigue sets in, you can release the weight belt and float on your back.
- Avoid touching marine life or coral, as some can be harmful or even deadly.
- Keep splashing to a minimum; excessive movement can attract curious marine animals, including sharks.
