Que llevar a snorkelear en San Juan
Esenciales para todo snorkelista
Reef safe mineral sunscreen tops the list and is required at protected reserves, since chemical formulas harm coral. Pack a rash guard for sun protection during long floats, a quick dry towel, refillable water and a dry bag to keep your phone and keys safe on the boat. A hat and sunglasses cover you between sessions. Even when a tour provides gear, packing your own well fitting mask greatly improves comfort and stops the leaks that ruin rental experiences.
Que dan los tours y que llevar tu
Most Icacos and Culebra catamaran tours include mask, fins, a flotation vest, drinks and lunch, so you mainly bring sun protection and personal items. Guided San Juan reef tours also supply gear and instruction. Shore snorkeling at Escambron provides nothing, so you carry or rent everything. If you wear glasses, a prescription mask or daily contacts make a big difference. Bring a defog spray or baby shampoo to keep any mask clear underwater.
Calzado y la entrada de Escambron
Escambron Marine Park has a mix of sandy patches and rocky shelves near the reef, so water shoes or sturdy reef sandals protect your feet and improve footing on slick rock. On boat tours you board barefoot or in flip flops, then put fins on in the water, so heavy shoes are unnecessary there. Avoid touching or standing on coral at any site, both for your safety and to protect the reef. A small first aid kit for minor scrapes is wise for shore days.
Mareo y comodidad para dias de barco
The Culebra and Icacos crossings can get bumpy, especially in the afternoon. Take a motion sickness pill 30 to 60 minutes before departure or wear acupressure bands if you are sensitive. Sit mid boat low to the water, watch the horizon and stay hydrated. Pack a light layer for the breezy ride back and a waterproof phone case for photos. A protein bar between snorkel sessions keeps energy up on full day trips.

Que protector solar se permite para snorkelear?
Se requiere protector mineral reef safe en las reservas protegidas y se recomienda en todas partes, ya que las formulas quimicas danan el coral. Evita oxibenzona y octinoxato.
