Watch where you place your hands and fins on the reef, as sharp coral and rocks are the main hazard here and contact is easy to make accidentally when you are still getting used to buoyancy control. The on-site dive shop can sort air fills and any gear you need, so you do not have to haul a full kit from elsewhere.
