Water temperatures can drop to freezing even in milder months, so bring exposure protection suited for cold-water diving rather than assuming a standard wetsuit will be enough. Surge and swell can reduce visibility and push you toward sharp rocks on the reef, so stay neutrally buoyant and watch your positioning throughout the dive.
