Safety Precautions

  • Watch out coral cuts: which are bacteria-laden and turn septic very quickly if not treated in good time. Bring sterile wound wash and antiseptic cream for coral cuts; wash and treat them immediately to avoid a nasty infection.
  • Watch out for the triggerfish: these little pointy-nosed fish are very cute but they do get territorial and attack swimmers during their mating season.
  • Buy travel insurance that covers “risky” activities (Diving, Trekking, Surfing, Snorkelling, etc.).
